Question

In Shakespeare's plays, lower class characters often speak in what ?

Answer 1

Shakespeare tends to signify the difference in classes by making the lower class the butt of most jokes, to make them look silly. He also showed in their speech. Shakespeare moved between prose and verse in his writing to give his characters more depth and vary the overall rhythmic structure of his plays. Many of Shakespeare’s lower class characters speak in prose to distinguish them from the higher class, verse-speaking characters.
