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.
