What is the prose of Shakespeare?

Prose is the form of speech used by common, or comic, people in Shakespearean drama. There is no rhythm or meter in the line. It is everyday language. Shakespeare’s audiences would recognize the speech as their language. When a character in a play speaks in prose, you know that he is a lower class member of society. These are characters such as criminals, servants, and pages. However, some times important characters can speak in prose. The majority of The Merry Wives of Windsor is written in prose because it deals with the middle-class. In Julius Caesar the comical Casca’s story of Caesar’s refusal of the crown is given in prose. Interestingly Brutus’ speech to the people after Caesar’s murder is delivered in prose, but Antony’s is verse, the more sophisticated style. Why did Shakespeare use these different styles? Compare the speeches, and the reactions they generate, and draw your own conclusions.
