Each line contains ten syllables

An iamb is only two syllables but Shakespeare's lines are made of 10 syllables. It's called iambic pentameter because two syllables (one unstressed and one stressed) five (penta) times equals 10 for the meter. Meter in poetry is the rhythm of the line or poem.

Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter in most of his poetry and plays because it is the meter most similar to everyday speech. This made it easier for performers to memorize and perform.

What do Shakespeare's plays answer about the human condition? Your answer should be in complete sentences, be well thought out,
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Forgive me for not writing an entire essay, but here are some things that could help:

Ambition is dangerous: theme shown in Macbeth

Shakespeare implicitly believed that humans tend to act on impulse rather than reason.

Bad things lead to worse

Greed is shown heavily in Macbeth and Hamlet.

Death is often a symbol, and Shakespeare trys to explain the repercussions and reactions after someone's death in a lot of plays.

All in all, the human condition is complicated. People mess up, kill each other, avenge each other, are obsessed, fall in love. Stuff happens, and that's life. Shakespeare is wonderful at bending words to reveal new meaning, and a new though process about life. It's messy. But it's a darn good read.

I wish I could write more, but without knowing which plays you've read or that they're referring to, I can't add too much. I really hope this helps you get started!

Aleks [24]

They are not synonyms of each other, but both are used as synonyms of the word "unbiased." Each word has a very broad meaning, and the meanings only intersect when describing an unbiased opinion or view.

Write"s" for a complete sentence. Write"f" for a fragment.Sentences have two parts. There is a naming part and there is a tellin
defon

Answer and Explanation:

A fragment is a group of words that looks like a sentence but lacks something essential to make sense. We can easily classify the groups of words below by noticing if there is something missing.

1. We had pizza for lunch - S

2. Snowed last night - F --> Even though we can understand what this group of words says, it is missing the "naming part". We do not have a subject.

3. The basement was cold  - S

4. The wooden fence - F ---> Now we are missing the "telling part". What about the wooden fence? We know the wooden fence is the topic, but we are not told anything else about it.

5. The flowers grew in the garden - S

6. The doorbell - F ---> The same case here as in number 4. What about the doorbell? The telling part is missing.

7. Dogs can do many tricks - S
