Extract

The theme of the present paper is ”The Usage of Stylistic Devices in the Sonnets of William Shakespeare”. The reasons for writing a paper on this topic are several. William Shakespeare was one of the most legendary British authors; his works make a connection between different generations – Shakespeare’s creative works were researched during the centuries from various points of view. Another reason is that the experience of the mankind with denying works of some authors of the preceding centuries and therefore ignoring the truly valuable and emotionally impressive pieces of writing shows that it is significant to understand the views on eternal values expressed by different people form the preceding epochs. ”The Sonnets” had not been investigated enough from the stylistic aspect – the determination of the meanings of stylistic devices was ommitted in less popular sonnets; and their influence on the mood and perception of the sonnets had not been researched deep enough either. Therefore, the aim of the paper is:
to examine and analyse the stylistic devices used by Shakespeare in his sonnets and to determine their main functions.
The objectives:
observation and study of theoretical literature on the ubject of stylistic devices
study and analysis of the stylistic peculiarities of the sonnets as a genre
stylistic analysis of the selected sonnets.
The methods of research:
the study and critical analysis of scientific literature and mass media products on the topic
observation.
The methods of data collection:
field notes
observation.
The outline of the chapters:
