How do you discover your character through the use of line breaks when writing verse?  We're starting a mini-series on that very question, thanks to some great insight from playwright, Monica Cross.  In this episode, we define five different dramatic reasons why a line ends (end stopped, enjambment, silence, stage direction and interruption), and we start looking at primarily end stopped lines.  We also contrast King Arthur in Arthur Phillips' The Tragedy of Arthur, compared to King Henry V in William Shakespeare's Henry V.  (And Emily goes nuts over good poetry.)
