Dramatic monologue

Betjeman’s idea of an optimal female is describe in all three poems, he represents all three women in what seems to be a socially acceptable. The women created in the poems appear as unusual and interesting yet administer a sense of power amongst them. He describes them as ‘nonchalantly’, shocked-headed’ and egocentric ‘listen to a lady’s cry’’. Betjeman prominently describes them as ‘feminine’ which is defined as ‘a set of culturally defined characteristics ‘ looking through the lens of society…

instead of Watson, there would not have been as much of a mystery since we would see Holmes’s inner monologue as he figured out the facts for himself. Conan Doyle chooses to have Watson narrate it, because it makes reading about Sherlock’s discoveries more interesting and allows Sherlock’s intelligence to be displayed. Not hearing Holmes’s inner monologue helps “A Scandal in Bohemia” start off with dramatic deductions that help set the tone of curiosity. Conan Doyle uses this tone to make the…

When studying Shakespeare's works, there is a multitude of characters he creates that stay with you. For me, that character was Lady Macbeth from Macbeth. Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's more well-known tragedies. Moreover, Lady Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most infamous characters. She is not the typical weak-willed, damsel in distress female characters that fill most other Shakespearean plays-at least at first. She is one of the more powerful female characters in literature. Her…

should such fellows as I do, crawling between earth and heaven?” (Shakespeare) This suggests that Hamlet is uncertain because he does not have enough evidence to make decision whether or not if Claudius is guilty or not. In many of Hamlet’s dramatic monologues, Hamlet has individual conversation with himself and questions his own verdict at many times during the film. I believe that Hamlet’s disastrous weakness was his inability to make a firm choice. There's a well-known scene in "Hamlet" where…

The opening lines of “Meditation on the Nativity” indicate that this poem is an imaginative variation on the conventional theme suggested by the title. In the fulfillment of God’s promise to humankind, archetypal fears are assuaged; legends and fables are realized and take on specific form: “Painters’ perceptions, visionaries’ long/ Torments and silence, blossom here and speak.” Jennings does not analyze the mystery of the Nativity; she mediates on the human significance of the divine pattern…

Unlike “Life is Beautiful” and “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas”, “The Pianist” was more of a monologue of Szpilman’s life, showing every inhumane moment. In “Life is Beautiful” and “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” there were often times where the protagonists would get lucky. “The Pianist” had none of these moments as there were people murdered randomly…

Structurally, Blake composes the poem as a dramatic monologue utilizing an ABAB rhyme scheme and simple vocabulary. Much of the work uses an anapestic poetic meter, which is often characterized with childish cadence of literature. The composition therefore resembles perhaps a children’s hymn -- establishing the innocence of the boy which narrates it. Ergo, the very nature of youthful innocence is tied inextricably to the overall tone of the poem. Blake not only addresses the reader, but…

The entertainment field is a very personality based field, one of the pros of working in this field is become famous and well know in a country or even across the globe. People who watch what you are in know you from who you are and how you are presented to the public. I consider myself to be a very outgoing guy who loves to receive attention. Therefore I think this field is perfect for me. I have been doing plays, acts, skits and hosts in my childhood days, I have no stage fright and I use…

This particular study abroad program encompasses so much of the history and craft that goes into my major. As an artist of the theatre, I need to be aware of the historical significance of theatre and the stories that have been written. Seeing, reading, and visiting monuments and plays will make the history that I’ve learned in class tangible. Attending productions will further allow my creativity as an artist to flourish with diverse genres of theatre that will be available on the trip.…

Eliot’s Rosamond Vincy is a further example. On face value Rosamond also can be considered an Angel. She is beautiful and has been schooled in all the lady-like accomplishments; although as one of the Middlemarch older women noted in a direct challenge to the concept of Angelic domestic ideology, ‘what was the use of accomplishments which would all be laid aside as soon as she was married? (Eliot 157)’. The Victorian lady may have been equipped to look angelic but she was ill-equipped to deal…
