Answer:

A sonnet is a form of poetry that has a long historical tradition and it is different in the various European traditions that developed it. As for the English sonnet, also called Shakespearean sonnet (Shakespeare brought this form of poetry to its perfection, arguably), it is composed of three quatrains (four-line stanzas) and a final couplet. This kind of sonnet follows an iambic pentameter as its meter (the meter is the basic rhythmic structure of a line or a poem). Iambic refers to how rhythm is measured in groups of syllables called feet (in this case, iambic, the foot is characterized as having an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one). Pentameter means that the line is composed of five feet.

The poem says a lot about the theme of time passing and looks fading. The woman in the poem regrets the loss of youth and beauty
kykrilka [37]

Answer and Explanation:

This is a personal question about your opinion. I will provide an example below. Feel free to add or edit anything to fit your beliefs and opinions:

<u>My definition of beauty does go beyond looks, although I must agree that all of us probably still judge people first based on their appearance. Still, I believe personality, character, manners, and actions are a better way to convey one's true beauty. Indeed, it is what most people would call "inner beauty", and I truly think it exists. </u>

<u>If someone despises or mistreats others, no matter how physically beautiful that someone is, we will end up finding them ugly because their actions and traits are ugly. The same happens the other way around. A person may not be considered very attractive, but if they are gentle, polite, and intelligent, for instance, we will perceive that person as beautiful and will prefer their company over the attractive but rude person.</u>
