These poems were written as dramatic monologues. This literary form is meant to show the reader the narrator’s most inner thoughts during a dramatic situation, therefore the reader can explore the abnormal psychology involved in the two acts of murder. Before the murders, both men are shown to be dangerously possessive of their women. In “Porphyria’s Lover” and “My Last Duchess there is only one point of view. This view is expressed throughout the poems and the reoccurring theme is murder as they both show the idea of men killing a lover.
It’s also because people like to spent their time on judging someone on how they dress or who they hang out with. Saying that, jealousy and hate may come into this, to where people tend to shun others. Either it be by the way they dress, or how they walk. People just do it because of their insecurity, Fear, jealousy, hate, or maybe because they might like the person and don't want to be hurt by him/her. Though the possibilities for the reasons are almost endless, it depends on the situation and the people that shun others.
This shows that he is highly unpopular with lawyers as he believes if they do not do their job properly they should be fined however lawyers are the only category which state that he is un-liked compared to the ‘whole people’.

Source 2 agrees that he had a lot of power of the nobility as he ‘shakes them by the ear’ this quote show that Skelton was taking the mick out of the nobility for not standing up to Wolsey which shows the amount of power he had over them but also that the nobles did actually fear Wolsey.
Betrayal is constantly treated in the novel and in each point at which it stands out, the tone and mood of the story inmediately tends to change. Sadness and the feeling of guilt are highlighted when the plot of “The Kite Runner” goes aroung betrayal. The mood changes from happines to dispair and the atmosphere turns gloomy everytime Amir betrays his friend. Rethoric and existencial questions hunt the protagonist when the feeling of guilt invades him. He wonders why he is so mean with Hassan and although he regrets, he cannot stop being like that, and in some instances he even justifies himself.
The students showed this by becoming “listless” during his stories. His tone and words were always picked with sarcastic criticism, too; for example, “I don’t mean to be polite or impolite, either. I guess it’s a sort of way I have, of saying things regardless.” (Cather, 245). I think Paul used this to separate himself from the rest of the dull crowd around him. Paul hated his surroundings, he felt so disgusted by it all that he presented himself in the most obnoxious way; hoping that some day those around him would grow to appreciate his distinct
The prince’s fool! Ha...? Bendick feels very bad for the things that Betrice think about him and we can see that Benedick cares about what Beatrice thinks of
“My Last Duchess" and "To His Coy Mistress" shows the act of the men in these two poems. Both the characters in these two poems have a certain attitude towards women, which is that they both see women as objects but in different ways. Also they both can hurt anyone for their profit. Both the speakers of “My Last Duchess” and “To His Coy Mistress” use poetry to create an argument. The Duke in "My Last Duchess" is an arrogant, disrespectful man, who cares more about status and wealth than love.
Now that he's aware of the murderous act, his actions become "rather impaitent" and this means that instantaneously he's battling against Goole. Through Priestly's use of hostility in the context of Birling's behaviour, the reader begins to question his dubious acts, and start to discover that there is tension deep routed routed withon the Birling family history, taht they're yet to disciver. Likewise,Priestly symbolises the tension within the family by the stark and interrogating light. The light becomes "white" and excruciatingly bright, and his shows the erecting tension as the play progresses. With the "dark" and cosy lighting at the beginning it juxtaposes to the opposite spectrum and by this the audience becmes aware of this tension that grows within the Birling's as each character finds a snippet of information that they'd rather not hear.
Emily Dickenson is notorious for her exceedingly extraordinary style of poetry. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she did not concentrate on conventional punctuation or word meanings, but rather focused on the school of thought known as deconstructionism. It is the natural progression from structuralism, where the writer takes a piece out of all historical, social, and political contexts in order to further examine the true meaning of a piece. Deconstruction is the paring down of the written word to its simplest form, consisting of just lines on the page and leaving the meaning open to the reader’s interpretation. This ideology of writing is an attempt to establish a secure or ultimate meaning of a text.
Explore the ways in which the central character is presented in the poem My Last Duchess by Robert Browning - the poem is narrated in the first person, as if it was being spoken by a character on stage. We don't know who this character is, however. We have no name and no physical description - two things you would expect to have for any fictional character. All we have to go on is the words the Duke uses. The key to writing about characterisation here is to identify the use of certain techniques: * title - we know the Duchess is no longer around because of the title * possessives - we know the Duke is possessive because of his regular use of "my" * repetition - we know he is self-obsessed because of his repeated use of "I" * metaphor and form - we know he is hiding something because of his use of the curtain and the fact that the poem in written in rhyming couplets but the rhyme scheme is hidden * punctuation - we know he gets angry because the flow of his speech breaks down around line 22 * meaning - we suspect he may be guilty of something because the ambiguity of "I gave commands;/Then all smiles stopped together", which has two meanings * imagery - we might conclude that he had his wife (the last Duchess) killed because the final image of the expensive bronze statute also works as a metaphor: a lively-sea horse (the Duchess) is being tamed by someone powerful (the Duke) and that sense of life (the lively Duchess, the rolling sea) is now solid and heavy and dark (like
