Dramatic monologue

One of the best poets in the Victorian era was Robert Browning. Browning wrote many poems including Porphyria’s Lover, and My Last Duchess. These two texts were very controversial and still are. In a way these are still controversial texts and make people question Browning as a person and his sanity. In My Last Duchess this man is showing his “lovers” agent his house and his 900 year old name, really showing off. He shows the agent a portrait of a beautiful woman and starts talking about her.…

In Giuseppe Verdi’s Otello, many compositional aspects change greatly between the first duet between Otello and Desdemona in act one and their second duet in act three. One of the most significant of these changed elements is the emotional position of Otello. Between the two duets, due to the skillfully crafted deceptions of Iago, Otello’s profound love and respect for Desdemona, his partner, is compromised and he moves to a place of interwoven devastation and rage (Kelly 351). This emotional…

is projected onto the drapes to help the audience understand the beauty of the sky and give a visual representation to the Pilots monologue. Because the drapes are so fluid and it is difficult to see the beginning and the end of each piece, the sky looks unusually realistic. As the play progresses and the plot line thickens, the projections shown become more dramatic and twisted. By the end of the play there are haunting videos of people who seem to be going crazy and other disturbing images.…

The poem was written between 1909 and 1915. It uses the dramatic monologue style, where the readers are only silent listeners. It is tempting to think that the poet , Eliot, is describing his own life through the character of Prufrock but the stark differences between young Eliot ( at the time he wrote the poem) and a balding ,middle-aged Prufrock, negate this assumption. Eliot also used the literary technique of fragmentation, which was popular in his time. The poets of his time used…

it brings readers through physical (i.e. city streets) and possibly scientific elements like his consciousness. Prufrock begins the poem by instructing his audience: “Let us go, you and I” (Eliot, 1).

The departure point of the play is right after Philinte’s opening monologue because Philiente was explaining to the audience about the origin of the play’s adaptation, not the actual storyline. The play really starts when Clitander enters the scene and the focus is now on the performance. Philinte and Clitander…

In Shakespeare’s Othello, the eponymous character is a Moorish general waylaid by his ensign’s thirst for power. His ensign, Iago, revels in the power he wields in manipulating…
