1. I think that Shakespeare wrote in blank verse because sometimes when I am reading something that rhymes and is super long I eventually don't even understand what I am reading, I think it aids the drama even if it is confusing.

He loses his own life too and I think that kinda goes in hand with the family that he had murdered.
