Characteristic of a prose?

Prose lacks the formal structure of meter or rhyme which is typical of poetry; instead it is composed of full sentences, usually divided into paragraphs, and then smaller segments known as meta-paragraphs. Although some works of prose may happen to contain traces of metrical structure or versification, a conscious blend of the two forms of literature is known as a prose poem. Similarly, the poetry with less of the common rules and limitations of verse is known as free verse. Poetry is considered to be artificially developed ("The best words in the best order"), whereas prose is thought to be less constructed and more reflective of ordinary speech.[1] Pierre de Ronsard, the French poet, said that his training as a poet had proved to him that prose and poetry were mortal enemies. In Molière's play Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Monsieur Jourdain asks something to be written in neither verse nor prose. A philosophy master says to him, "Sir, there is no other way to express oneself than with prose or verse". Jourdain replies, "By my faith! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing anything about it, and I am much obliged to you for having taught me that."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose

Why does Shakespeare write verse and prose?

Shakespeare wrote in verse because, in his day, it was a sign of literary excellence. In plays like 'A midsummer night's dream,', the verse gives the play a sense of an unrealistic world. Using verse suggests a natural affinity between the people speaking, and also gives the impression of a predetermined script. Actors found it easier to memories lines in verse, as well. However, he wrote in prose for some parts of the plays, because this gave the play a sense of informality.

Identify which characters speak in black verse and which ones speak in prose in Act one scene 1. What can you tell about the characters in this scene based on whether their dialogue is verse or pros?

In Act One, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, characters such as the noblemen, including Romeo and Benvolio, typically speak in blank verse, which reflects their higher social status and the seriousness of their emotions. In contrast, the servants and characters like Sampson and Gregory speak in prose, indicating their lower social standing and often providing comic relief. The use of verse by the nobles signifies their dignity and the gravity of their situations, while prose highlights the more mundane, everyday concerns of the lower-class characters. This distinction emphasizes the social hierarchy and the themes of love and conflict that permeate the play.
