The one element that you have included that most people don't touch on enough when teaching the Shakespearean sonnet is the "volta". This thematic change is so significant however, the rhythm and rhyming scheme often overshadow the volta in discussions of what elements make Shakespeare's sonnets great. I really enjoyed reading your piece. Thank you for this excellent summary of the Shakespearean sonnet!
