    William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 116” and Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Love Is Not All” both attempt to define love‚ by telling what love is and what it is not.

Shakespeare‚ on the other hand‚ depicts love as perfect and necessary from the beginning to

    born: the sonnet. Known as a “little song” (Sayre 2015‚ 648)‚ the sonnet comprises of two types: Italian (Petrarchan) and English (Shakespearean).
