help me love shakespeare's sonnets

oh god they are so BORING. and not even the kind of boring where at first glance you're like 'whatever' and then when you look into them and learn about them they suddenly become fascinating because you understand them.

case in point: this semester i'm taking a compulsory paper on the sonnets. i need to pass it in order to graduate at the end of this year. i've been studying english lit for three years now. my lecturer is a good guy and relatively interesting. but the poetry is so DENSE and STODGY and i fucking HATE IT.

help me guys. i have seven weeks left to truly understand the beauty of what are supposed to be some of the most amazing literary works ever written. i want to shoot myself whenever i have to go to this class right now.

i wish i could help.
as wonderful as shakespear is and all that i could never read any of his books. unless someone were to like disecct them and post a 'shakespeare fer dumbdumbz' book.

too dull, and old english is not my thing.

if anything i can sympathize.
good luck with that, man.

solution - you can sit my old english paper, and i'll do the sonnets paper for you. also, a good way to look at shakespeare is to consider who *some* scholars believe they were written to - his uncle.

really?
i studied them at one point, and i thought they were very interesting. exactly the way you stated above: they were boring at first, and then the more i learned about them, the more interesting they were.
maybe that's just me though.. sometimes i have really boring interests.
