Synopsis

Instead of expressing worshipful love for an almost goddess-like yet unobtainable female love-object, as his predecessors had done, Shakespeare introduces a young man. He also introduces the Dark Lady, who is no goddess. Shakespeare explores themes such as lust, homoeroticism, misogyny, infidelity, and acrimony in ways that may challenge, but which also open new terrain for the sonnet form.
