The document provides an overview of Elizabethan drama conventions including pronouns, verb forms, iambic pentameter, rhymed and blank verse, and how playwrights would "cheat" to make prose fit the meter by rearranging words, using contractions, and omitting words. It notes that poetry was used for upper class characters and discussions of love while prose represented everyday speech of lower class characters.
