Sonnet 19 is one of the more than a hundred sonnets published by William Shakespeare in 1609.
It is considered a typical Shakespearean or English sonnet because of:
-The use of three quatrains (a stanza or poem consisting of four lines) followed by a couple (two successive lines that rhyme and have the same metre). Here is an example of a rhyming couple from Sonnet 18
<em>So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
</em>
<em>So long lives this and this gives life to thee.</em>
-It follows the typical rhyme scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg
-The widespread use of iambic pentameter based on five pairs of metrically weak/strong syllabic positions. For example, "<em>But I forbid thee one more heinous crime"</em> (19.8).
Banquo's ghost appears in act 3, scene 4, and sits down in Macbeth's place. The fact that Banquo's ghost chooses to sit in the king's seat is significant because it foreshadows how Banquo's descendants will inherit the throne, as the witches predicted.
