2) finishing up the portrait analysis from yesterday. See copy of images below. This is a graded assignment. Please hand in when you have finished.

3)Whilst some folks are downstairs:

Yesterday you looked at a couple portraits and noted the power dynamics of two people.
On Monday, we'll begin the poem "My Last Duchess" and you probably have sensed that the poem we will be looking at is about power and relationships.  

Once you have turned in your portrait analysis, please collect the sheet that says Paraphrasing the term dramatic monologue.

1) write an MLA heading
2) copy the following:
  

Dramatic monologue
A dramatic monologue in poetry, also known as a persona poem, shares many characteristics with a theatrical monologue: an audience is implied; there is no dialogue; and the poet speaks through an assumed voice—a character, a fictional identity, or a persona. Because a dramatic monologue is by definition one person’s speech, it is offered without overt analysis or commentary, placing emphasis on subjective qualities that are left to the audience to interpret.

3. Paraphrase the definition of dramatic monologue based upon the what you have just written. In other words, use your own words to explain the definition.

This will be collected for a class participation grade.
