Question

Amber has been asked to identify the meter of “Sonnet 18.” She is highlighting the syllables that should be stressed.

Answer 1

The poetic device that Shakespeare uses in “Sonnet 18” is that they are in iambic pentameter.

An iambic pentameter is a form of a metrical line in which each line contains five unstressed syllables followed by five stressed syllables. They are usually arranged in an alternating pattern.

“And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;”
