One Person Sonnets: Notes on Shakespeare's Sonnets at the End
by The End
About This Novel
Open the book and slowly read Shakespeare's sonnets. The version I chose is the 2005 Arden edition (edited by Katherine Duncan-Jones) Shakespeare's Sonnets. Opening the collection of poems, I found that in addition to the 154 sonnets, there is another poem under the same title "Shakespeare's Sonnets". This poem is titled "ALover's Complaint" (ALover's Complaint). According to reports, the incorporation of this long poem is to achieve a certain balance, contrast, or complementarity, that is, the sonnet is a male expression, while "The Lover's Resentment" is a female narrative. If the former reveals men's frustrated desire for love, then the latter expresses women's tragic complaints in a wonderful echo, creating an image of a male victim of love. This kind of gender balance would be very interesting if it became a reason for the works to be unified.
