The idea
Shakespeare's plays are poems in the sense unit six meant: metre, figure and structure all operate. A question on a Hamlet passage may be a metre question or a figure question. The bands overlap, and the poetry units are not spent when drama begins.
In practice
The poetry units apply here too.
Where people slip
A drama item may test metre.
