Question

Which meter gives Shakespeare's Macbeth the characters a more natural voice when they speak the words aloud?

a. Trochee pentameter
b. Rhyming feet
c. Iambic pentameter
d. Plain verse

Answer 1

C, Iambic pentameter. Shakespeare always writes in iambic pentameter. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

The characters in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth" use an Unrhymed Iambic Pentameter (also known as Blank Verse) when speaking out loud.

The use of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one helps the dialogue sound more natural and not so forced.
