Shakespeare
Meter is the rhythmic structure of a line of poetry, defined by the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. This concept is foundational to understanding various poetic forms, including the distinctive rhythm of iambic pentameter and blank verse, which are prevalent in Shakespeare's works. Meter gives poetry its musical quality and affects how it is interpreted, adding layers of meaning through its regularity or deviations from it.
