In Reply to: Kev's Dialogue is rythmatic just like.... posted by TheEasterBunny on December 22, 1999 at 13:08:40:
rhythmic or rhythmical, but never 'rythmatic'
: Shakespere. Shakespere with the iamic pentamiter (fuck me, i don't know
Shakespeare, not Shakespeare; and iambic pentameter, not iamic pentamiter.
:correct spelling, it's been 6 years since High school. Not to say Kevin writes like shakespere. Its just his dialogue is very rythmatic. So was ole Bills.
Shakespeare only employs iambic pentameter for his upper class characters; the servents, thus uneducated, never speak in iambic pentameter. This techinque is employed as an indication of the lack of education. Basically, Kevin's characters speak beyond their means. One would not expect these people to be able speak as elloquently as they do.
Oh, and I had to look up 'rhythmic' and 'iambic' because I wasn't sure either.
