Shakespeare sometimes gets a bad rap in high schools for his complex plots and antiquated language.

Freeman and Gregory Taylor uncover the power of iambic pentameter.

4:24 trochaic hexameter is wrong as they put the unaccented syllable first and then the accented syllable , what is would be is an iambic hexameter
watching this 2 years in a row
I just don’t hear the stressed syllables. And English is my mother tongue.
Excellent video👍
Fun fact stressing originates from Ancient Greek

I hope I narrated it well . I really need to know your opinion people.

Great video. Thanks a lot.
Alrighty then!
The animation for trochaic hexameter at 4:24 is incorrect. That’s iambic hexameter, not trochaic hexameter.
