Why did shakespeares noble characters speak iambic pentameter commoners?
Blank verse is iambic pentameter that doesn't rhyme. If commoners speak in blank verse (and they do), they necessarily speak in iambic pentameter. Occasionally they speak in rhyming iambic pentameter too. It is not the nature of the speaker, but the nature of what they are saying that determines what form the lines will take. Blank verse gives the impression of measured, well-thought-out speech. It conveys seriousness and wisdom (or the appearance of it). Prose is more appropriate for utterances which are funny, stupid or insane. When characters like King Lear and Othello go insane, they start talking in prose when they spoke in blank verse before. The characters who are written as funny or stupid in Shakespeare's plays are often workmen or servants, as a result of social snobbery. Middle-class people who show signs of nobility, like Romeo and Juliet, speak in iambic pentameter, heck, even in sonnets!
Why is this verse an example of iambic pentameter Two households both alike in dignity William Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet Prologue?
This verse is an example of iambic pentameter because it consists of five iambs, which are metrical feet with an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Each line in this prologue has ten syllables, alternating between unstressed and stressed syllables, creating the rhythm of iambic pentameter.
Why did shakespeare use iambic pentameter for the dialogue of noble character while commoners often spoke in prose?
This was because, generally speaking, the noble characters had noble things to say. The plebes were given jokes or other silliness. Blank verse, unrhymed iambic pentameter, makes things said in it sound more noble; it emphasizes the nobility of the statement. These statements are not only poetic because of their rhythm, but because of the imagery and figures of speech they employ. However, if a noble character went insane or stopped saying noble things, Shakespeare would start to write their dialogue in prose.

A complex question is a misleading trick question. It is asked in a way to trap someone into admitting something without actually saying it.
