    William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor.

    He wrote 38 plays and two


    long poems in his lifetime. He lived in Stratford-upon-Avon, in Warwickshire, England. He was
    born on April 26, 1564 and died on April 23, 1616 at the age of 52.

    William Shakespeare is known for being the greatest dramatist of all time as well as the most
    influential writer in the history of the English language. He originated over 1,000 words and
    phrases that English speakers use to this day.

    Sonnet 145
    Sonnet 145 is one of Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets. It is the only sonnet in the Dark Lady sequence
    to be written in tetrameter rather than iambic pentameter. Shakespeare’s sonnet is also the one
    with the fewest letters. It is written as a description of the feelings of a man who is so in love
    with a woman that hearing her say that “she hates” makes him fear that she is referring to him.
    But then when she notices how much pain she had caused her lover by saying that she may
    potentially hate him, she changes the way she says it to assure him that she hates but she does not
    hate him.

    The Sonnet 145 is about the Dark Lady and William Shakespeare. However, this sonnet has been
    the subject of some debate. Some scholars believed that this was written for Anne Hathaway,
    Shakespeare’s wife.

    Shakespeare wrote sonnet 145, which has the rhyme pattern ABABCDCDEFEFGG.
    The main theme of sonnet 145 is Love.
    Sonnet 145 is an inconsequential treatment of love. The paramour vouchsafe commiseration on
    the poet as opposed to previous sonnets, whereupon she was unmerciful. Before, her only words
    to the poet were “I hate” but her hatred turns into mercy once she noticed how he “languished for
    her sake”.
    Shakespeare wrote this poem in 1582, making Shakespeare only 18.
