He did it to show the difference in their status and education.

Iambic pentameter is an elevated style, and Shakespeare created noble and educated characters who spoke in it. On the other hand, there were commoners who obviously did not belong to the same class as the nobles and did not receive the same education (if they had any education to begin with) so he wanted to show those differences through their speech. Nobles spoke in iambic pentameters, and commoners in blank verse or prose.

Gnoma [55]

The main objective of the narrator when describing the setting of the play "Our Town" is to emphasize the fact that this town is incredible common. The town has no special feature, and no reason to be more highly regarded than any other town. However, the town is extremely special to its inhabitants.

The tone of the passage is familiar, in order to emphasize how common and mundane the scenario being described is. The word choice is also used in a way that suggests familiarity. Moreover, the word choice contributes to the creation of a vivid image in the mind of the reader by providing specific names and dates. Finally, the meaning of the passage is that the town is not special in any way. This allows the reader to feel represented, as the town can stand in for whatever town the reader loves.

To treat a sting, wash any remaining tentacles off the skin with seawater or pick them off the skin. Soak the affected area in hot water (no hotter than can be easily tolerated) for 20 minutes to relieve the pain. Remove briefly before reimmersing and continue this cycle if pain persists.


It all depends on what kind of snake bit you.
