Answer:

by having noble characters speak in iambic pentameter, while the lower classes spoke in plain blank verse or prose.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shakespeare was an author who appealed to all social classes, he only met with some resistance and could not long please the intellectuals and philosophers, as they did not accept that he had not attended a university. However, Shakespeare has managed to establish a language that appeals to the most learned, educated, and privileged people; He also managed to establish language that would please and make sense for the poorest and most disadvantaged people. Shakespeare was able to please all classes by having in his works noble characters speaking in iambic pentameter, while the lower classes spoke in verse or blank prose.
