[Answer] How many lines are in a Shakespearean sonnet?

We have looked all around the web to find the most relevant answer to your query: 


How many lines are in a Shakespearean sonnet?


  • 14:Shakespeare wrote a total of 154 sonnets. Only three deviate from the standard format of fourteen lines. In the other 151 sonnets, the beginning twelve lines form groups called quatrains, each consisting of four lines. Shakespeare presents his theme or problem in these quatrains, then resolves it in the final two lines. This structure in a sonnet is commonly known as the Shakespearean sonnet, or English sonnet. Shakespeare also wrote his plays in the same structure of iambic pentameter. In the plays, however, the lines aren't rhymed and they're not grouped into stanzas. Source: Shakespeare-Online.com
