Question

Why would a love poem be suited for sonnet form?

A. The rhythm and rhyme follow a set scheme, leading to a more pristine, flawless presentation.

B.Shakespearean language tends to be more ornate and beautiful.

C. Fourteen lines is just enough space to declare one's love. Anything less would prove that the love was indeed fraudulent.

Answer 1

(A) is the most correct answer. With a set rhyme scheme and presentation form, sonnets are best suited for love poetry because it makes presentation easier. The form also allowed for just enough modification that it gave the authors leeway to make slight changes without deviating from the basic standards.
