What are Shakespeare's best sonnets?

Question:Preferably not about love if there are any

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Preferably not about love if there are any

I haven't studied all 154 sonnets, but I think the majority are about love in one form or another. The poet, a man, woos a woman, mourns the loss of her love to another, regrets his own betrayal of that woman, etc.

Oh, wikipedia says the last 30 sonnets are about different criticisms of the world at that time! But reading them, the word "love" appears often.

One of his most famous sonnets has the lines:

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

They are all about ?
It's Shakespeare for crying out loud!

-Andreea

Sorry, all of them, at least the well-known ones, are able love: "Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?"

unfortuently for you nearly all of shakespeare's sonnets ar written to an unknown lover but i do know that sonnet 146 is about conquering death (did a paper on it). Other than that not sure.
