Look for poetry in your life.

Of course, most lines of Shakespeare's playsare written in regular prose.But if you read carefully,you'll notice that Shakespeare's characters turn to poetry,and iambic pentameter in particular,for many of the same reasons that we look to poetry in our own lives.Feeling passionate, introspective,or momentous.Whether it's Hamlet pondering his existence,or Romeo professing his love,the characters switch to iambic pentameterwhen speaking about their emotionsand their place in the world.
