What part of speech is stressed in iambic pentameter?

English
1 answer:
Vilka [71]4 years ago
3 0

"When we talk, our syllable are either stressed (stronger emphasis) or unstressed (weaker emphasis). For example, the word remark can consist of two syllables. "Re" is the unstressed syllable, with a weaker emphasis, while "mark" is stressed, with a stronger emphasis. :) In poetry, a set of two or three syllables is referred to as a foot. A specific type of foot is an iamb. A foot is an iamb if it consists of one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, so the word remark is an iamb. Pent means five, so a line of iambic pentameter consists of five iambs - five sets of unstressed syllable followed by stressed syllables."
