Why did shakespeares noble characters speak iambic pentameter commoners?
Blank verse is iambic pentameter that doesn't rhyme. If commoners speak in blank verse (and they do), they necessarily speak in iambic pentameter. Occasionally they speak in rhyming iambic pentameter too. It is not the nature of the speaker, but the nature of what they are saying that determines what form the lines will take. Blank verse gives the impression of measured, well-thought-out speech. It conveys seriousness and wisdom (or the appearance of it). Prose is more appropriate for utterances which are funny, stupid or insane. When characters like King Lear and Othello go insane, they start talking in prose when they spoke in blank verse before. The characters who are written as funny or stupid in Shakespeare's plays are often workmen or servants, as a result of social snobbery. Middle-class people who show signs of nobility, like Romeo and Juliet, speak in iambic pentameter, heck, even in sonnets!
