LECTURE TOPIC: VERSE AND STAGING How do we read Shakespeare?

VERSE  Free verse Poetry without a regular pattern of meter or rhyme. The verse is "free" in not being bound by earlier poetic conventions requiring poems to adhere to an explicit and identifiable meter and rhyme scheme in a form such as the sonnet or ballad. Modern and contemporary poets of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries often employ free verse. Williams's "This Is Just to Say" is one of many examples.meter  Blank verse A line of poetry or prose in unrhymed iambic pentameter. Shakespeare's sonnets, Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, and Robert Frost's meditative poems such as "Birches" include many lines of blank verse. Here are the opening blank verse lines of "Birches": When I see birches bend to left and right / Across the lines of straighter darker trees, / I like to think some boy's been swinging them.iambic pentameter

RHYME  The matching of final vowel or consonant sounds in two or more words. The following stanza of "Richard Cory" employs alternate rhyme, with the third line rhyming with the first and the fourth with the second:  Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him; He was a gentleman from sole to crown Clean favored and imperially slim.

RHYTHM  Rhythm The recurrence of accent or stress in lines of verse. In the following lines from "Same in Blues" by Langston Hughes, the accented words and syllables are underlined:  I said to my baby, Baby take it slow.... Lulu said to Leonard I want a diamond ring

METER, FOOT, IAMB  Meter The measured pattern of rhythmic accents in poems.  Foot A metrical unit composed of stressed and unstressed syllables. For example, an iamb or iambic foot is represented by ˘', that is, an unaccented syllable followed by an accented one. Frost's line "Whose woods these are I think I know" contains four iambs, and is thus an iambic foot.metrical  Iamb An unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one, as in to-DAY.

IAMBIC PENTAMETER  Unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.  Each pattern is referred to as a foot.  Shakespeare uses five feet to a line.  This is called iambic pentameter.

ACTIVITY  Iambic Pentameter “You WON’T GO till I NET up a FISH for YOU.” (unmetered verse) “you GO not TILL i NET you UP a FISH.” “Neither a borrower nor a lender be.”  Activity: Create 2 metered lines of iambic pentameter on your own.

Rhyming Couplets  Shakespeare uses rhyming couplets to mark the end of major dramatic points. In Macbeth, a rhyming couplet ends the first scene: “Fair is foul, and foul is fair. / Hover through the fog and filthy air.”  Ask students to locate additional rhyming couplets in Act 1. The opening scene of Macbeth is replete with rhyming couplets.

ACTIVITY  Rhyming Couplets Activity: Create 2 rhyming couplets of your own. For example, the comic book hero Underdog often speaks in rhyming couplets: "I am a hero who never fails, / I can't be bothered with such details."
