To determine the rhyme scheme of Shakespeare's sonnet, follow these steps:
1. Locate the sonnet: Shakespeare's sonnets consist of 14 lines. Search for a specific sonnet number or a collection of Shakespeare's sonnets.
2. Identify the end words: Read through the sonnet and identify the last words of each line. Note down the words at the end of lines 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, and so on until the last line.
3. Analyze the pattern: Examine the end words and observe any recurring sounds or patterns. Assign a different letter of the alphabet for each unique sound.
4. Label the rhyme scheme: Using the assigned letters, label each line of the sonnet with the corresponding letter that represents its rhyme sound.
For example, let's consider Shakespeare's Sonnet 18:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? (A)
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: (B)
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, (A)
And summer's lease hath all too short a date: (B)
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, (C)
And often is his gold complexion dimmed; (D)
And every fair from fair sometime declines, (C)
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed; (D)
But thy eternal summer shall not fade (E)
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; (F)
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade, (E)
When in eternal lines to time thou growest: (F)
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, (G)
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. (G)
In this example, the rhyme scheme of Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 is ABABCDCDEFEFGG.
Note that each rhymed sound is assigned a different letter of the alphabet. The lines that share the same rhyme sound are given the same letter.
