He was a spectacular poet and accomplished great things. Although Shakespeare is known for his plays, I believe his sonnets were just as good. Sonnet 18 contains so much beauty. Everyone also idolizes the thought of love. In sonnet 18 it's like I could feel the connection because his words were so powerful. In my opinion, he had high expectations for other poets, and it will always be difficult for other poets to go beyond what he has already achieved. I believe he was a great poet, because he knew how to express words in ways that no one would have ever thought of. It's also really unique and powerful. No one really knew his lifestyle, yet from his literature many could tell a lot about him. William Shakespeare will always be remembered as an extraordinary poet who achieved great things in English
