I think that it is certainly true that Petrarch’s style and beauty ideal and his use of devices such as metaphor or paradox created a gate way for other writers to come through.The descriptive words of the exact feelings and emotions that he was experiencing for Laura allowed for his audience to feel as if they were going through all of the things that Petrarch went through.
The form of a Petrarchan sonnet affects the content and tone because it is set up with iambic pentameter, an octave, a sestet, and a volta. These are all different parts of the sonnet. The Iambic pentameter affects the tone by how the syllables will be accented and how the lines consist of ten syllables. The Octave affects the content of the sonnet because it is where the problem is introduced. The sestet is the last six lines where the problem is reflected upon and resolved, this affects the content because it will build the ending of the story. The Volta is in the sestet and is the turning point of the sestet, this can affect the tone of the sonnet because of his word choice in the resolution.
