The shift between prose and blank verse in Shakespeare?s plays help illustrate to the audience and reader the social background of the characters, as well as increasing the effect of the dialogue. Not only this, but it also shows what the character is portrayed as (nobility or commoner, not just their class. Twelfth Night gives many instances of the usage of both writing approaches, and allows the reader to absorb some examples of the best of each. The text of this play would not have been as witty and humorous had Shakespeare not taken full advantage of these literary devices, and Twelfth Night would not be the masterpiece it is known as today.
