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

English
1 answer:
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.
