Works in the form of poetry, rather than Shakespeare's plays, were unfamiliar but beautiful.
It is impossible to discuss Western literature without mentioning the works of William Shakespeare. Along with the Bible and Greek and Roman mythology, William Shakespeare's works are must-read books. Most people have likely read plays such as Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Romeo and Juliet. However, I believe few have read his sonnets. First of all, as a collection of poems, it employs many poetic expressions, and hidden or ambiguous meanings are scattered
Olgin must be suffering from a disease where he will die if he doesn't omit particles. Thanks to that, the translation is too dry and boring.
I usually don't tend to read world literature. For some reason, the content felt difficult, and since it incorporated historical elements, it was even harder to understand, making the material feel overwhelming. However, the book "Sonnets" was much easier to read than others because it featured poetic expressions interspersed throughout and seemed to capture the emotions of life.
It does not appear to be a very faithful translation compared to the original text. It is useful for reference to compare the differences between the university professor's translation and your own.
William Shakespeare: Sonnet collection
William Shakespeare's collection of poems, *Sonnets*. Written in earnest between 1592 and 1594, this book contains 154 sonnets that are the product of intellectual play originating in Shakespeare's mind. Through the poetic form of the sonnet, it portrays not only the love triangle involving the speaker, a young guardian or lover, and a dark woman, but also general themes of poetry. By personifying the young man and the dark woman as a good angel and an evil angel fighting to claim his soul, the author implicitly emphasizes that they are not real figures but constructs of his imagination, thereby demonstrating that these two figures—including the poet himself—are in reality metaphorical language seeking deviation. Through the alteration and destruction of existing linguistic forms and meanings, it fully reveals a reflection on the process of writing love poetry known as the sonnet.
