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.
