Taming of the SHrew 1

1. What is "blank verse"? Give an example of it from your book.
    no meter / rhyme, pattern iambic pentameter

2. Interpret these Shakespearean lines using your Shakespeare Packet: Reading Shakespeare's English:
a. "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?" [R&J]
      Wait! What time is it?
b. "Thou art more lovely and more temperate." [Sonnets XVIII]
      You're hot!
c. "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well." [Macbeth]
     if it's done then it's done so ill talk to you later
d. "Who wooed in haste, and means to wed in leisure." [Taming of the Shrew]
      they were trying to impress me and fast.
