Detailed explanation-1: -The final couplet can either provide a decisive, epigrammatic conclusion to the narrative or argument of the rest of the sonnet, or subvert it.
Detailed explanation-2: -The last two lines of a sonnet are called a couplet in a Shakespearean sonnet. Shakespearean sonnets use three quatrains, which are stanzas of four lines each.
Detailed explanation-3: -A heroic couplet is a group of two lines of iambic pentameter in an AA rhyme scheme. The heroic couplet is the “GG” closing. You can separate these stanzas with blank lines, or leave them all together in an unbroken poem, but the sonnet should move as a function of these discrete stanzas.
Detailed explanation-4: -Remember that a Shakespearean sonnet always has 14 lines, so you need two final lines – called a couplet. The rhyme scheme for this is GG, using words you haven’t used in the rhyming so far, for example, ‘see’ and thee’.
