Sound in any piece of literature is important because it allows insight into the mind of the character being portrayed or it gives the literature a deeper feel into the piece of work itself. In Shakespeare’s hamlet, Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter which helps to set the mood for the play and allows for a more entertaining and not droning play; furthermore, Shakespeare is able to break iambic pentameter when he is trying to show how in this case hamlet has gone insane because he speech patterns reflect those of a normal conversation and not one in iambic pentameter. In “Out Out” the sounds in the poem are used to personify the buzz saw and actually make the reader feel the power of the saw as they are reading the play due to words like “snarl” and “rattle” the reader really feels the rumble in their voice, which reflects the sounds of the saw itself.
