The theater presentations of that time period
were limited in their props, costumes and
lighting. The most effective technique they had to
sway the audience was to use words. The
audience expected verbal signs, not visual, as
we expect today. Everything that the audience
needed to know was conveyed through words.

Shakespeare was a master of the English
language. He wrote in both poetry, concentrated
language, and prose, common everyday speech.
His metrical writing was in blank verse or
unrhymed iambic pentameter. It was the common
practice of the day's speech, and it most
resembled a normal pattern of speech. It was
also pleasing to the ear.
