A Duke confesses a murder. Browning pens down a suspense thriller unminding purity of poetry and morality issues of a conservative age.

I love your lecture with every fibre of my being. It always reminds me of my college or university days when I used to love listening to lectures. In a word, you're just like my ma'am. I am preparing for JRF. I need your blessings as well as your lectures because it always motivates me to study more and more.

What threw me for a loop is that this Duke all but confesses to murder, and then tries to distract the person in order to stop them from committing the confession to long-term memory. The instrument that transformed short-term memory to long-term memory is a structure within the brain called the hippocampus, given the name because of how it resembles a sea-horse. The speaker pivots the conversation to *tame* (control) the *sea horse* (hippocampus) within the listener's brain. But, that function of the hippocampus wasn't known until the 1970's!

@@NibblePop Thanks! My Last Duchess is one of my favorites. From a technical standpoint, making a tight rhyme in iambic pentameter that doesn't sound like Petrarchan sing/song is quite an accomplishment. From a thematic standpoint, it's not just that this is one of the Big Three Ekphrastics along with Ode to a Grecian Urn and Ozymandias. This is the ultimate personification of the Male Gaze at it's most pathological. The Duchess reminds me of Vittoria in Webster's "The White Devil," when she said, "Sum up my faults, I pray, and you shall find, That beauty and gay clothes, a merry heart, And a good stomach to feast, are all, All the poor crimes that you can charge me with." But for the Duke, that was enough. She smiled too much, which is especially insane considering how many men feel they have the right to tell women to smile more.

After listening to your explication of Keats' Odes ("To Autumn" happens to be one of my all time favorite poems),, I must say that you're better than Harold Bloom and Helen Vendler! The same goes for your discussion of "My Last Duchess". But there is one issue you haven't addressed here. I bring this issue up because I'm an actor. and this is a dramatic monologue. It follows that a dramatic poetic monologue may acquire impact if it follows the rules of drama. In the case of "My Last Duchess," I can visualize someone speaking these very lines in real life, so uncanny was Browning's skill Now, as you may already know, it's a cardinal rule of the theater that no one executes an action on stage or in front of the camera or delivers a line, unless the character wants something. This is true whether it's Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, "I Love Lucy" or "The Sopranos." Usually, he or she wants something from the character he or she is addressing. The character wants to affect a change in the other character. He wants something from the other character. The best dramatic action occurs when a character wants the other character to do something, and he therefore delivers his lines to compel the other character to react.. So my question is: The Duke is clearly a narcissist. But why does the Duke disclose to the Count's messenger that he killed his first wife? What is his objective? What does he hope to accomplish by narrating his abhorrent crime? One would think that, after hearing this grissly tale, the Count's messenger would hastily warn the Count not to let his daughter marry this monster. There must be something that the Duke wants to accomplish here by telling this tale, but what? I don't know the answer, but perhaps you can hazard a guess
@NibblePop
@NibblePop 4 ай бұрын
Interesting question. Perhaps the Duke wishes to impose his masculinity and superiority over the listener, so that he may communicate how dominating the Duke is. Sometimes people with toxic masculinity have this belief that exeerting dominance is a positive trait in courtship

"Browning's poems are suitable for soul studies". Explain this with the help of 'My Last Duchess'. We have been given this question in our college assignment. Do we have to examine the psychological elements of the poem? Any more points you would like to suggest, that I may include in my answer?
@NibblePop
@NibblePop 22 күн бұрын
You define the phrase "soul studies". You may show how Browning was able to put inner working of a person on a poetic stage. How impulses get the better of people, how they pretend to be something but accidentally give us a glimpse into their minds.
