All For Love: Style 1 key example

All For Love is a drama constructed in five acts, with no internal scene breaks. Dryden also includes a lengthy dedication (the Epistle Dedicatory), a Preface, a Prologue, and an Epilogue. The Epistle Dedicatory and the Preface are written in prose, while the Prologue, Epilogue, and main body of the play are written in blank verse. Blank verse refers to poetry written in regular, metered lines that are unrhymed. Iambic pentameter is the most common form of blank verse, in which a single line is composed of ten syllables of alternating unstressed and stressed syllables (or five iambs), and this is the rhythmic meter that Dryden employs in All For Love.
