Sonnet

In poetry, a sonnet is a fourteen-line poem written entirely in iambic pentameter. It can be used as either dialogue, prose, or otherwise.
A sonnet has a very specific rhyme scheme that makes it work. Here is the basic rhyme scheme of a sonnet:

Sonnets are most widely known for being used by English actor and playwright William Shakespeare. However, some examples can be found in the modern world as well.
In Vietato, there are moments where the characters have one or even two sonnets to serve as dialogue. For instance, while Ettore talks to his brothers Salvatore and Santino about his suspicions of his sister's lover, there is a point where Ettore's dialogue is a sonnet. Take note of the rhyme scheme.
"You see, she loves a boy of Fratelli.
When I found out she kissed him, I attacked
the heathen with my words. It upset me,
needless to say. My sister’s been ransacked!
But that is not the most troubling news here;
as I was heading here, I noticed in
the bushes were Mafiosi hidden near.
A conspiracy kept from views within?
I know he’s part of some pernicious deal!
His friend, Giacomo, must have struck one good.
Gregorio is a fool to try to steal
my sister’s heart; he’s dense as maple wood!
Either I’m irrational in my mind,
or death might be the next sight I will find" (II. iv. 42–55).
