For what reason does Shakespeare commonly choose to write in iambic pentameter

English

Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
6 0

An iambic pentameter is a metric line where one stressed syllable is followed by one unstressed syllable. (the pattern is something like this:Λ_Λ_Λ_ where Λ stands for the stressed syllable)

Shakespeare is an author who used it extensively in his poetry and it is believed that he actually established the use of iambic pentameter . He chooses to write in it because it copies the sounds of natural human speech, even the rhythm of a human heartbeat.

Part A In the story "Life on the Sea," how does Marla feel about her husband's job as a fishing boat captain? She thinks he is a
irakobra [83]

Marla would like her husband to have a job that would allow him to come home more often.

The excerpts that show this are:

"His wife, Marla, didn’t understand his obsession with the water, why he spent months of the year navigating a boat full of crab fishermen to isolated spots of the ocean hundreds of miles away from shore."

"She couldn’t grasp why he didn’t get the same satisfaction from life behind a desk..."

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Marla's husband's job requires him to spend a lot of time away from home.
  • She doesn't like it because she misses him and believes it would be better if he found another job that would allow him to have a family life.
  • He asks her husband to answer her claims, which he does, but he is very unhappy, as he enjoys life at sea a lot.
  • Marla doesn't understand the reasons for this, but she sees him unhappy and that's why she asks him to go back to doing what he loves.

With that, we can understand that Marla is a very understanding person, who doesn't agree, but understands her husband's love for the sea.

Why did Thomas Paine question British authority to rule the colonies in Common Sense?
Sergio [31]
Thomas Paine questioned British authority for many reasons. Some of the main ones were that Britain is too far away and because of that should leave America alone; another was that they always wage wars in which America suffers; another was that the American people ran away from the crown just to be greeted by a country where the same crown rules. The list of reasons goes on and on and on.
