Why did Shakespeare use iambic pentameter for the dialogue of noble characters while commoners often spoke in blank verse or pro

se
English

MrRissso [65]3 years ago

Answer: To show the difference between an educated, refined noble class and coarse, crude commoners. However, this doesn't mean that Shakespeare resented the commoners. It was a self-explanatory fact that the nobles and educated were refined enough to use iambic pentameter in talking to each other - but this has many exceptions too; there are many moments in his plays when the nobles use prose or blank verse, for example when they are chatting to each other or are intoxicated. However, Shakespeare's blank verse and prose, though devoid of contemporary poetic mannerisms, are extremely witty and rich in meaning and associations.

What does romeo mean in these lines when he says, "i beseech thee, youth,/ put not another sin upon my head/ by urging me to fur
Anna [14]
Romeo does not want to fight Paris. He has no desire to take up arms against Paris; however, if Paris chooses to fight him, he will fight back. Romeo is characterized as noncombative. He doesn't want to fight Paris. We have seen this in other parts of the play as well. He did not want to fight Tybalt when Tybalt came at him. This choice was not a surprise because Romeo had shown to be rather passive in conversations about the fighting between the Capulets and Montagues. He never seemed to condone the fighting in the streets and seemed to stay out of the skirmishes. Romeo also comes across as very confident in his abilities as a swordsman. His statement that the fight will put "another sin upon [his] head" indicates that he is confident he will kill Paris if they fight.
