Death and dying, Shakespeare’s delight
enslaved his queen soon after the exposition
Never fear there would be building action—someone’s plight
Only further complicated with others’ weaknesses to build derision.
Under no circumstance could Shakespeare 101 be complete without a conflict
Expediently posited soon after conflict had arisen,
Mostly so a climax or let-down—if you will—could be the edict
Errantly falling into the final action with many visions;
Neither heroine or hero might yet be alive when
The final dénouement arrives and the curtain falls in Act V.
