My last duchess
The document provides an analysis of the poem "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning. It examines the dramatic monologue form, with the Duke of Ferrara as the sole speaker, and how he reveals his arrogant and possessive nature through his speech. The Duke took offense that his last wife, now deceased, was too friendly with others and did not properly esteem the gifts he gave her, indicating he may have been involved in her death. The analysis explores how the Duke's language emphasizes his self-centeredness and links his wife to images of freedom in contrast.
Elements of Poetry.pptx
As with narrative, there are "elements" of poetry that we can focus on to enrich our understanding of a particular poem or group of poems. These elements may include, voice, diction, imagery, figures of speech, symbolism and allegory, syntax, sound, rhythm and meter, and structure. While we may discuss these elements separately, please keep in mind that they are always acting simultaneously in a story. It is difficult, for example, to discuss voice without talking about imagery, sound, meter, diction and syntax. Above all, these elements reveal something about the poem's "theme," meaning, or function.
Voice: Speaker and Tone-
As DiYanni notes, tone refers to the poet's "implied attitude toward its subject. Tone is an abstraction we make from the details of a poem's language: the use of meter and rhyme; the inclusion of certain kinds of details and exclusion of other kinds; particular choices of words and sentence pattern, of imagery and of figurative language" (479). A poem could convey reverence toward its subject, or cynicism, fear, awe, disgust, regret, disappointment, passion, monotony, etc. Tone has a great deal to do with meaning, for a description of a parent would be radically different depending on a poet's attitude toward that parent.
Diction, Imagery, Figures of Speech, Symbolism and Allegory-
Simply put, diction refers to word choice and is intimately related to imagery and figures of speech because a poet chooses a word to achieve a certain sensory, emotional, or intellectual effect. Choosing "wandered," for example, suggests something different than, say, "walked around," "shuffled," "drifted," "floated," etc., for each word suggests a different attitude, image, or connection. Your job is to explore the possibilities, always broadening the meaning and linking it with other words and images. For example, placing words in new contexts creates metaphors, for the word suggests one meaning and the context another.
As noted earlier, word choices creates images, the "concrete representation of a sense impression, feeling, or idea. Images may invoke our sight, hearing, sense of smell and taste, and tactile perceptions." Imagery refers to a pattern of related details. When images form patterns of related details that convey an idea or feeling beyond what the images literally describe, we call them metaphorical or symbolic. The details suggest one thing in terms of another. For example, images of light often convey knowledge and life, while images of darkness suggest ignorance or death. This leap from one image to its symbolic counterpart is based on an interpretive act and must be done in context. For example, white is usually associated with purity, cleanliness, and virginity, but in Moby Dick the great whale is white and suggests absolute evil, but the use that symbolic color is consistent within the novel. Figures of speech refer to special kinds of language use.

btmtan305-Larkin.ppt
Philip Larkin was a renowned 20th century English poet known for his realistic depictions of everyday life. He worked as a librarian and published several collections of poetry characterized by themes of pessimism, anti-romanticism, and ordinary human experiences.

Different Types of Poetry
This document lists and provides examples of different types of poetry, including slam poetry, narrative poetry, ballads, lyric poetry, sonnets, limericks, free verse, and odes. It discusses characteristics of each type and provides examples to illustrate them.
Dramatic poetry
Dramatic poetry uses elements of drama through dramatic forms or techniques while also telling a story through characters. There are three main forms: dramatic monologues present the speech of a single character at a critical moment; soliloquies allow characters to express thoughts without others present; and character sketches arouse interest in an individual through suspense or conflict without a full story. Examples provided are Robert Browning's dramatic monologue "My Last Duchess" and Shakespeare's soliloquy from Hamlet on "to be or not to be." A character sketch is James Henry Leigh Hunt's poem "Abou Ben Adhem" about a man who sees angels writing the names of those who love God.
