How does the structure of a formal (closed) couplet influence its effect compared to a run-on (open) couplet?
Both formal and run-on couplets always end with a grammatical pause, making their effect identical.
Run-on couplets rhyme but do not share the same metre, unlike formal couplets.
A formal couplet ends with a grammatical pause, creating a self-contained thought, while a run-on couplet continues the meaning into the next line, producing a flowing effect.
