Poetry Notes

- medium and format matter
- poetry starts with motion (rhythm) 
- interpretation is essential 
- iambic is used to create rhythm and beat
 Ex: in Shakespeare only insignificant characters speak in prose 
    ~ quick conversations carry iambic pentameter between character 
- tone: the authors attitude towards the characters, the audience, or subject
- mood: the readers feeling as they read
- theme: the central message of the peice
