I apologize for the confusion. After reviewing the paragraph again, I realized that only Sentence 3: "His many portrayals of the hardships of lovers only serve to prove that the complications of love go beyond time periods." serves as the commentary/analysis in this paragraph. Sentence 1 introduces the main idea, and Sentence 2 provides a quote from one of Shakespeare's characters, while Sentence 4 provides another supporting statement. Sentence 3, however, offers an analysis of Shakespeare's portrayals and their implications.
