    I have avidly watched several cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare, Some several times (Ian Mckellen Richard III ❤️), I was in AP English in highschool, a good portion of which was Shakespeare…I still can’t fully understand wtf iambic pentameter means. It sure sounds cool though.

      I think it means five syllables … plus some fermented raspberry juice.
