1. Who is the young man/fair youth addressed in Shakespeare’s sonnets?
2. What kind of relationship does the poet have with him?
3. Some people believe that Shakespeare never really existed and that his works were written by someone else. What is your opinion on this?
Please back up your arguments with evidence from the sonnets (even ones we didn't study in class), academic articles or critical sources.
Feel free to email me should you have any questions.
All the best!
