1. Introduction
Shakespeare is a great poet familiar to many readers around the world. An outstanding playwright of the Elizabethan era during the English Renaissance. His four widely circulated comedies: "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "The Merchant of Venice", "As You Like It", and "Twelfth Night" and four great tragedies: "Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear" and "Macbeth" are universally acclaimed. His status in the British literary world is like that of Cao Xueqin, a literary giant of the Qing Dynasty in China. Therefore, a large number of literature on Shakespeare studies and red studies have been published in endless ways, as vast as the sea. However, many readers only know that Shakespeare is a great playwright, but they do not know that he is also a great poet who is unmatched in sonnets. He composed about 154 sonnets between 1590 and 1598. The first 126 are dedicated to a blond boy who treated him favorably, namely the Earl of Southampton or the Earl of Binbrook. ;The last 28 poems are written to a mysterious "dark-skinned girl". It has always been a mystery who this dark-haired and dark-skinned girl who betrayed love has been a mystery, and why poets have frequently dedicated poems to her. As to whether she is a real person or a figment of the author, no one can explain. The structural techniques and language skills of Shakespeare's poems are very unique, and almost every poem has independent aesthetic value. Shakespeare was extremely skillful in using this poetic style, which reflects his rich vocabulary, concise wording, novel metaphors, ingenious structure, sonorous and melodious tone, and relaxed tone. The most exquisite thing is the last two lines of the whole poem, which are often wonderfully conceived and surprisingly eloquent. They are not only the most critical part of the whole poem, but also form a self-contained warning motto, which is truly ingenious. In the creation of sonnets in Britain and even the world, Shakespeare's sonnets are an insurmountable pinnacle and deserve an unprecedented reputation. The writing of the sonnet occurred in the middle period of the author's creation, which reflects the poet's firm belief in love and friendship. It also reflects the dignity and calmness of his middle maturity stage with deep melancholy.
In the history of literature, sonnets are divided into Italian style or Petrarchan style, consisting of a group of eight lines in the front and six lines in the back. The rhyme method is abba abba cde cde. Ying's sonnets can be divided into three four-line groups and the last two-line group, which is what we often call the heroic couplet. They are the two most weighty lines and play a finishing touch. The rhyme pattern is abab cdcd efef gg. Due to Shakespeare's skillful use and innovation, he achieved unparalleled effects. Therefore, in the UK, sonnets are also called Shakespeare's sonnets, and other poets have followed suit. This article aims to reproduce the master's artistic style and artistic characteristics through the appreciation of his three representative poems, and to obtain spiritual enlightenment and great spiritual enjoyment from them.
