u sure
I apologize for the confusion. After reviewing the paragraph again, I realized that only Sentence 3: "His many portrayals of the hardships of lovers only serve to prove that the complications of love go beyond time periods." serves as the commentary/analysis in this paragraph. Sentence 1 introduces the main idea, and Sentence 2 provides a quote from one of Shakespeare's characters, while Sentence 4 provides another supporting statement. Sentence 3, however, offers an analysis of Shakespeare's portrayals and their implications.
so what are the answers to the question
The answer to the question "Which sentence(s) serves as the commentary/analysis in this paragraph?" is Sentence 3: "His many portrayals of the hardships of lovers only serve to prove that the complications of love go beyond time periods."
