Question

What poetic form does Tennyson use in "Ulysses"?

• A. Sonnet
• B. Blank verse
• C. Heroic couplet
• D. Free verse

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Blank verse

Ulysses is written in blank verse, which means it has a consistent metrical pattern (iambic pentameter) but no rhyme scheme. This gives the poem a dramatic and natural speech-like rhythm, perfect for Ulysses’ introspective monologue.
