Do you mean, what sort of handwriting would he use? The same handwriting he always used: secretary hand.

Or do you mean "When did Shakespeare use iambic pentameter?" The answer is in sonnets and in a lot of the dialogue in his plays, when it was supposed to be more powerful.

Is this tool an iambic pentameter checker?

What poet who seems be using iambic pentameter bends the meter most?

There would be many candidates, from many different time periods. Shakespeare "bent" the meter quite a bit, understanding that the "sing-song" nature of pure iambic pentameter, in its purest form, becomes dull. Many others have stretched the meter quite a bit, including John Berryman, Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Theodore Roethke. Technically, to be called a poem written in iambic pentameter, the lines or the cadence of the poem must be written in predominantly iambic pentameter. Given the number of poems that have come into print, it would be difficult to determine which poet "bends" the meter the most, while still categorizing the poems he or she has produced as iambic pentameter poems. In comparisons between a certain set of poets, you may have to decide this for yourself.

Why did shakespeare write in iambic pentameter?

In 1573, as part of his new religious reforms (because he had just become Pope in 1572) Pope Gregory XIII instituted the Catholic practice that all secular poetry was required to be written in iambic pentameter in order to encourage primarily religious work. By the time William Shakespeare was of age to begin seriously writing poetry, it had become common practice to use primarily iambic pentameter in any work worthy of reading. Because of this, he adopted the practice of writing in iambic pentameter. Interestingly, the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in iambic pentameter mirrors the way most people naturally speak. This writing pattern, embraced by Shakespeare, makes the Old English verse sound more conversational, and more familiar to modern listeners.


Are four beats in a line of iambic pentameter?

There are 10 syllables in an iambic pentameter because iambic means the 1st syllable is not stressed but the 2nd one is stressed; kinda of like a heart beat (da-DUM da-DUM). pentameter comes from pentagon which is 5 so there would be 5 unstressed syllables and 5 stressed syllables (da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM).
