Explanation:

Shakespearean sonnets are characterized by a specific rhyme scheme (abab, cdcd, efef, gg), consist of three quatrains followed by a couplet, and the couplet often summarizes the preceding lines. The rhyme scheme helps in creating a musical quality and structural coherence. The three - quatrain structure allows for the exploration of different ideas or themes in each quatrain, and the couplet provides a concluding thought or a twist.
