The first syllable is unstressed and the second syllable is stressed: for example, the word \u2018comPARE\u2019 makes up an iamb because in natural English speech you stress the second syllable. Shakespeare uses this metre a lot, e.g. \u2018Shall <em><strong>I<\/strong><\/em> com<em><strong>pare<\/strong><\/em> thee\u00a0<em><strong>to<\/strong><\/em> a <em><strong>sum<\/strong><\/em>mer\u2019s <em><strong>day<\/strong><\/em>\u2019. <\/small><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><small>In the gifs I\u2019ve put stressed syllables in red. If you read the lines stressing those syllables, you should find that fits with the natural cadence of the words.<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Jared\u2019s performance of the lines doesn\u2019t always stress those syllables with complete regularity &#8211; for example, he says \u2018But Metatron, would that not make YOU God?\u2019 &#8211; but that\u2019s just good reading. If everybody read iambic pentameter with repetitive, exaggerated emphasis it would sound really boring and unnatural.
