Blank verse is a type of poetry that is written in unrhymed lines, typically in iambic pentameter. This form is known for its natural rhythm, closely resembling the patterns of spoken English. Blank verse often allows poets to explore complex themes and emotions while maintaining a fluid and conversational tone. It has been widely used in English dramatic poetry and is particularly associated with the works of playwrights like William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe. The lack of rhyme gives poets the freedom to express ideas and narratives without the constraints of a specific rhyme scheme, while the rhythmic structure adds a musical quality to the language.
