What is blank verse?
The excerpt from "Hamlet" that we are analyzing here consists of lines written in blank verse. We say a poem is written in blank verse when:
- It does not show concern for rhyme.
- It has a metrical pattern, which means the lines will present a certain number of syllables.
We must be careful to not confuse blank verse with free verse. Free verse does not follow any rhyme or metrical patterns. Since "Hamlet" does follow a metrical pattern, it is written in blank verse.
