    The two poems I am going to discuss are Robert Browning‘s ‘My Last Duchess’ , and Edgar Allen Poe‘s ‘The Raven’ . I will discuss the way the forms of the poems and how their different structures, one being written in verse and the other in dramatic monologue, effect the reader’s interpretation, lead to an unreliable narrator. I will discuss the use of rhyme and rhythm, and also how the speaker’s psyche and strong emotions, like anger and jealousy in ‘My Last Duchess’ and madness in ‘The Raven’ alter the speaker’s reliability. ‘My Last Duchess’ is written in the form of a dramatic monologue, and uses iambic pentameter to mimic natural speech, as well as using rhyming couplets, which give the poem a faster pace and gives the character a stronger voice.…
