SONNET: FROM ITS ORIGIN TO OXYMORON - LIKE TRANSFORMATION

Abstract

The sonnet is a clearly recognizeable form, both internally and externally, regardless of how close it mayor may not be to other literary forms. From the external point of view, it binds numerous heterogenous elements. Internally, it absorbs numerous contradictions. These contradictory elements are the grounding of its oxymoron-like transformation.
