Shakespearean Language LAP 3 Literary Types

Iambic Pentameter Iambic pentameter is meter that Shakespeare nearly always used when writing in verse. Most of his plays were written in iambic pentameter, except for lower-class characters who speak in prose. Meter: the set rhythm of a piece of writing Iamb: an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, marked “u/”

Shakespeare’s Meter Iambic Pentameter has: Ten syllables in each line Five pairs of alternating unstressed and stressed syllables Iambic Pentameter: 5 iambs in a row “u/u/u/u/u/” Blank Verse: Unrhymed iambic pentameter

Iambic Pentameter The rhythm in each line sounds like: ba-BUM / ba-BUM / ba-BUM / ba-BUM / ba-BUM unstressed with a u stressed is marked with an x Most of Shakespeare’s famous quotations fit into this rhythm. For example: u x u x u x u x u x If mu- / -sic be / the food / of love, / play on Each pair of syllables is called an iambus. You’ll notice that each iambus is made up of one unstressed and one stressed beat (ba-BUM). This is called an iambic foot.

Writing Style and Rhyme Scheme Parts of Romeo and Juliet are written as a sonnet, a poem of 14 lines written and rhymed in iambic pentameter. Each sonnet ends with a couplet. In a Shakespearean sonnet the rhyme scheme is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG A couplet is two consecutive lines that rhyme. Iambic pentameter refers to the rhythm of each line. It is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. “Bŭt sóft! Whăt líght throŭgh yóndĕr wíndŏw bréaks?”

Shakespearean Sonnet Sonnet: 14 line lyric poem with a complicated rhyme scheme and defined structure Shakespearean Sonnet: uses iambic pentameter and has 3 quatrains (group of 4 lines) and a couplet 1st quatrain introduces the situation 3rd quatrain often shows a shift in thought Couplet resolves the situation
