Shakespeares plays were all written in as most dramatic works of his time?

Shakespeare's plays were all written in iambic pentameter, which was the dominant metrical form for dramatic works of his time.

Here's a breakdown:

* Iambic: This refers to the rhythm of the line, which alternates between an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (da-DUM).

* Pentameter: This means there are five metrical feet (sets of unstressed and stressed syllables) per line, making a total of ten syllables.

So, a line of iambic pentameter looks like this:

da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM

For example:

"But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?"

Shakespeare often used variations and deviations from strict iambic pentameter to create dramatic effects, but it remained the foundational rhythm of his plays.
