Perform a close reading of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 147 and relate the poem to one or more medical ideas. On fever, consult Siraisi, pp. 130-31 and Lindemann, p. 26. For this topic, you may also research and refer to one or two other secondary sources on fever. You might also consider the image of the physician in the sonnet, the treatment of love as an illness (Siraisi, p. 131), the poem’s notion of “care,” the idea of the “non-naturals,” or the presence of the three-part soul .
