The other prominent sonnet type is known as Shakespearean Sonnet, again not because he was the first to use it, but because he became its most famous practitioner. Though Petrarchan sonnet is named after Petrarch, the form was not developed by him. The Petrarchan Sonnet consists of an 8-line octave, which usually presents a problem or explores an idea followed by a 6-line sestet, which usually solves the problem posed in the octave or takes a completely different direction from the previous line of thought.

A sonnet is a poem of 14 lines usually written in iambic pentameter and traditionally associated with the theme of love.
