Sonnet 18 is one of the most famous love poems of all time. This assignment involves translating the enthralling beauty, theme and rhythm of the sonnet into a contemporary love story.

The aim is to maintain the essence of timelessness while capturing the ever-evolving concept of love in today’s society.
