A
Introduction to Blank Verse and Prose
In many plays, writers choose between using blank verse—a type of poetry with unrhymed iambic pentameter—or prose, which is more conversational and straightforward. Both forms can express a wide range of emotions, from joy to despair, depending on how they are used by the author. For example, a character speaking in blank verse might reveal their inner turmoil, whereas prose might show casual or everyday speech.
