thinking about how ophelia’s line “like sweet bells jangled out of tune and harsh” is ten syllables long, which sets it up to be perfect iambic pentameter (five pairs of unstressed/stressed syllables, i.e. "like sweetbellsjangledoutoftuneandharsh”), but instead the scansion works out to “like sweet bells jangled out of tuneandharsh,” breaking the pentameter and making the line itself a sweet bell jangled out of tune
