Slide1
Identify the rhyme scheme and determine what type of sonnet this is using your sonnet notes.
The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action; and till action, lust
Is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust,
Enjoy'd
no sooner but despised straight,
Past reason hunted, and no sooner had
Past reason hated, as a
swallow'd
bait
On purpose laid to make the taker mad;
Mad in pursuit and in possession so;
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.Slide2

RHYTHM
The beat
When reading a poem out loud, you may notice a sort of “sing-song” quality to it, just like in nursery rhymes. This is accomplished by the use of rhythm. Rhythm is broken into seven types.
Iambic
Anapestic
Trochaic
Dactylic
Monosyllabic
Spondaic
Accentual
Less
Common
Most
UsedSlide6
These identify patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry.
That means one syllable is pronounced stronger, and one syllable is softer.

METER
The length of a line of poetry, based on what type of rhythm is used.
The length of a line of poetry is measured in metrical units called “
FEET
”. Each foot consists of one unit of rhythm. So, if the line is
iambic
or
trochaic
, a foot of poetry has
2 syllables
. If the line is
anapestic or dactylic, a foot of poetry has 3 syllables.Slide8
(This is where it’s going to start sounding like geometry class!)
Each set of syllables is one foot, and each line is measured by how many feet are in it. The length of the line of poetry is then labeled according to how many feet are in it.
*There are rarely more than 8 feet*

II.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
She Walks in Beauty
I.
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes:Thus mellowed to that tender light Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.
III.And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent,A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!Reading this poem out loud makes the rhythm evident. Which syllables are more pronounced? Which are naturally softer?Count the syllables in each line to determine the meter.
Examination of this poem reveals that it would be considered
iambic tetrameter
.

WHY did Shakespeare use iambic pentameter?
To show emotion or importance
Shakespeare was meant to be heard! It made it easier for the audience to follow the lines.
It helped the actors to memorize their lines.
It made sure that the actors
emphasized
the words Shakespeare wanted to
emphasize
.Slide14

Write 5 lines in iambic pentameter about yourself – ON YOUR INDEX CARD!
Write your name on your card to be collected, but DO NOT include your name IN the poem so we can guess who wrote it.
