What are examples of blank verse in romeo and Juliet act 1?

Answer 1

Blank Verse An example of blank verse, which is unrhymed poetry that is most often written in iambic pentameter which resembles the rhythm of ordinary speech, is:

What is the boy now, who has lost his ball,

What, what is he to do? I saw it go

Merrily bouncing, down the street, and then

Merrily over-there it is in the water!

Here is a famous one from Macbeth.

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing."

Shakespeare uses blank verse in this case to portray how desultory and pointless our lives are. Shakespeare makes use of blank verse in order to gain some flexibility as blank verse is unrhymed although it still retains its meter (regular).

Answer 2

Get out a copy of the play, close your eyes, open it and point. Odds are, that's blank verse.

Parts that are not blank verse include the parts in rhyme: the prologues, Romeo and Juliet's Sonnet conversation and the occasional couplet, especially at the end of scenes. Blank verse is unrhymed iambic pentameter.

There are also some parts in prose. Act 1 Scene 1 is in prose up to the point where Capulet and Montague enter. The servants at the beginning of Act 1 Scene 5 and the end of Act 4 Scene 5 talk in prose too. Prose isn't blank verse because it's not in iambic pentameter rhythm.

Answer 3

Blank verse is known by having units fiveOf the iambic type which always sounds

Ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM

But strange to say although it is called verse

Its lines may or may not contain a rhyme.

No. "Blank verse rhyme" is an oxymoron because by definition 'blank verse' has meter but no rhyme.
