You say the internal evidence of the sonnets reveals their autobiographical nature.As the poet put it, Bald R. Dash.
The internal evidence of the sonnets merely reveal the sonnets, not the poet. These are works of FICTION, a fact you conveniently overlook, and only tell what the author was trying to say in that particular instance. They tell nothing about the author's biography.
I was also amused at your ludicrous assertion that only a handful of male authors can create good female characters. It is a basic skill of any author to create believeable characters, whether female or male. Your ignorance is showing.
