We read and made notes on Tennyson's dramatic monologue, "Ulyssess" which you will love and then we read another dramatic monologue by Browning called "My Last Duchess". Read both poems and create a list of character traits for the speaker and explain how they are revealed.
Notice the use of literary techniques in both poems. Copy out key lines to memorize for the final exam.
Also, the following Victorian poems you will need to read and analyze on your own. (We will discuss them in detail at the pizza cram)
Bronte's "Song"
Barrett Browning's "How Do I Love Thee?
Hardy's "The Darkling Thrush" (another bird poem)
Dickinson's "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" this poem is not in the text. Find a copy on-line.
Friday is the unit three test.
Tuesday is the in-class essay.
