(2011:97) Dramatic Monologue is a device whereby the poet invents a character to provide the voice and opinion represented in the text. Browning’s poem, “My Last Duchess”, addresses a rather complex character commonly found in the Victorian Era. The persona in this case, is the Duke of Ferrara. The poem, being a Dramatic Monologue, features a second character, the messenger, which the Duke addresses. Browning’s use of this Dramatic Monologue involves the reader in the process of assimilating and deconstructing the story of the Duke of Ferrara’s relationship with his ‘last duchess’ through his diction, style, structure and rhythmic pattern.
Tolstoy is very successful in creating a work of literature that exposes the reader to a variety of feelings that love entails. The constant array of both successful and unsuccessful relations in this dramatic novel can be appropriately evaluated by applying Sternberg’s theory. One of the most devastating and disheartening love affairs in Anna Karenina occurs between Anna and Karenin. Anna is a beautiful, intelligent, and respected woman of high society.

We’re used to stories having endings, and when it’s changed up, it becomes more appealing to us. It grabs our attention because it’s unique. Edmund Spenser, an English poet, did this very thing to an epic poem, “The Faerie Queene.” This poem is known for its form and is the longest poem in the English language. “Amoret in the Garden of Adonis,” was painted by a British painter named John Dickson Batten in 1887 and was based off of this poem. Coming from a young female’s perspective, I viewed “Amoret in the Garden of Adonis,” as a depiction of somebody exhausting over their problems.
The artist did a brilliant job tying all the pieces, colors, shapes and patterns together. I think what the artist is trying to express, is Love and Femininity. The artist created this artwork with a lot of love, and that love shows in the eyes of the woman. The artist mostly used different shades of Pink, which is an international symbol of Femininity. Pink emphasizes the softness and beauty of the woman in the artwork.
Dante, a main character, goes to the spiritual journey with Virgil, his guide. In order for him to express his understanding and belief of the true human nature, Dante, as an author, emphasizes on the experiences of the main character and dramatic images throughout the story. In Canto XIII, the author, introduces the reader many images of where Dante, the character, is in; the place where people who have committed suicide are located. “No green leaves in that forest, only black; no branches straight and smooth, but knotted, gnarled; no fruits were there, but briers bearing poison” (4-6). As Dante describes the images of healthy trees, he also describes the unhealthy trees, so that the reader can understand easily that they are located in hell, and there is something wrong with them.

This is important since this idea influenced and helped the writers of the future creating writings with modernistic characteristics mentioned by the two well-known modernists, Virginia Woolf and T.S. Eliot. Woolf shares her thoughts on modernism through her essay by explaining how a fiction should be written with modernistic ways like a spiritualist in her essay, “Modern Fiction.” While Woolf focused on that, T.S. Eliot wrote his works using not only modernistic views but also with his creative literary styles and languages in his essay, “Tradition and Individual Talents,” and his famous collection of poems, The Waste Land. Both of these writers might seem like they had different ideas, but they both elaborated on new methods that makes one’s work modernistic, making the future bright for their descendants and followers.
In “The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, which is an abstract diction and has deeper meaning lying inside it, the poet gives us a beautiful image by explaining different views in the poem .However; we can see the beauty of his art by understanding the deeper philosophical meaning beneath the poem. The poet used personification, metaphors, symbolism, synecdoche and refrain to compare the cycle of nature with cycle of life. The main message of this poem tells us that with all the different effects that we cause to nature, eventually nature will dissolve us, our experiences and ideas and continue on its path. The Persona in this poem is the poet himself who gives us different images from a town and it’s sea shore .In the first line of the first stanza “The tide rises, the tide falls “(l.1), the poet is talking about a repeating cycle in nature. By paying close attention, we see that at the end of all three stanzas in this poem, Longfellow used refrain by repeating the same line.
“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” ,written by T S Eliot ,is a modernistic poem in the form of a dramatic monologue. The term “modernism” refers to a movement that began in the late 1800’s, merging with WWI, and continued to be influential after WWII.

Such poets attempted to describe the world they saw before them in poetry, rather than create a fictional world for their readers. “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” is the first masterpiece of modernism; it is typically a modernistic poem in form, content and in representing the modern man.
