    • Shakespeare wrote his plays mostly in blank verse. 
    • The technical term for this form is the iambic pentameter.
    • When he first started to write plays, he maintained a blank verse from start to finish.
    • But as he matured, he sought greater freedom of expression than rhyme allowed. 
    • He moved toward the rhymes of everyday speech, which gave him many dramatic advantages.
