What is an 'end-stopped' line in Shakespearean verse?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A line concluded with a full stop, comma, or other punctuation mark
End-stopped lines conclude with a natural pause in speech and syntax. Shakespeare's earlier plays, such as 'The Comedy of Errors,' feature a high percentage of end-stopped lines compared to the fluid enjambment of his late romances.
