The discussion centers on the use of meter in prose, specifically identifying famous writers known for their rhythmic writing styles. Shakespeare is highlighted as a primary example, with his plays predominantly composed in iambic pentameter, although his works are classified as verse rather than prose. Dr. Seuss is also mentioned for his unique rhythmic style, which, while not strictly metered, showcases a distinct cadence in his writing. The conversation raises the question of whether prose can truly be considered metered, suggesting that traditional definitions may limit the exploration of rhythm in prose.
