Unstressed and Stressed Each Iamb contains one unstressed and one stressed syllable. Unstressed syllables are marked with a U Stressed syllables are marked with a /

Marking Iambs Shall I compare thee to a Summer’s day? U / U / U / U /

Shall I compare thee to a Summer’s day? Iambic Pentameter Pentameter refers to the number of Iambs in a line. “Penta” means 5 Each line in Blank Verse has five iambs Iambic Pentameter! Shall I compare thee to a Summer’s day? 5 Iambs!
