Winner of the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for fiction Junot Diaz wrote the The Brief Wondrous Life of

Whenever the Duke is disguised as a friar, he speaks in prose, in opposition of iambic pentameter. The playwright does this to denote to the audience that the Duke is not being authoritative. Since he is trying to stay hidden as an unknown friar, it is in his best interest to not command others around as if he is the Duke. Furthermore, when the Duke is disguised as a friar and Lucio strikes up conversation with him and disrespectfully talks about the Duke, Shakespeare purposefully has the Duke accidentally

from the high-status viewpoint of the duke, as if it was a deserved punishment for the duchess. As seen in the structure of the poem, the duke’s focus rapidly changes from reflecting on her death at the beginning, to quickly finding a new mistress to appease him, often within the same line.
