Today’s Agenda Read and Analyze Robert Browning Poetry: “My Last Duchess” & “Porphyria’s Lover” Writing Task: write in the voice of a character from the poem Share Student Samples for Summative Assessment

“My stress lay on the incidents in the development of a soul: little else is worth study." —Robert Browning

Dramatic Monologue “to be a dramatic monologue a poem must have a speaker and an implied auditor, and … the reader often perceives a gap between what that speaker says and what he or she actually reveals” -Victorian Web

“Porphyria’s Lover”: Read Aloud Pg. 983

Our Quest: Discover what the speaker says through subtext in “My Last Duchess” Step 1: Read poem silently (pg. 979) Step 2: Identify speaker, audience, and situation Step 3: Create character profiles Step 4: Reading aloud for subtext

“My Last Duchess” Step 1: READ Silently! Pg. 978

“My Last Duchess” Step 2: Identify SOAPStone Situation Pg. 978 Speaker? Occasion? Audience? Purpose? Tone?

Step 3: Paired Writing Task Step 3: Paired Writing Task! Label your paper with your assigned character’s name/title. (1) The Duchess Prior to your disappearance, you wrote a letter to a friend, telling about your life with the Duke. Describe some of your experiences both in the early years of your marriage and throughout the painting of your commissioned portrait. How do you view life, and what do you think of the people around you, including your husband, the Duke? What sorts of things delighted you? (2) The Count’s Envoy You are the envoy of a Count, who has sent you to Duke Ferrara to negotiate a wedding between the Duke and the Count's daughter. Prior to dining with the Duke's other guests, he pulled a curtain aside and revealed to you the portrait of his last Duchess, whom he described to you. Based on your knowledge of the Duke through his own words, what kind of life can the Count's daughter expect as the new Duchess? Do you recommend that she marry the Duke? Why or why not? Use the Duke's own words to prepare your argument to the Count. (3) Brother Pandolf (Painter) You are Brother Pandolf, who painted the portrait of the Duchess. You keep a journal where you write down your thoughts about all of your paintings, and the experiences that shaped their creation. You have finally decided to write down your feelings about the Duchess and her husband, the Duke Ferrara. Based on your knowledge of the events, describe the Duchess, the Duke, and their relationship. Your assessment should be based on facts, rather than speculation.

Step 3: Character Profile: THE DUKE On the back of your paper, tell us about Duke Ferrara Imagine how he speaks (tone of voice). Is he controlled? Passionate? What sort of image does he project to his audience? What are his priorities? How does he make other people feel?

Step 4: Reading Aloud Questions for Discussion: Read the poem aloud to your partner in the voice of the Duke. What does he emphasize? Remember, this is DRAMATIC monologue! Questions for Discussion: What effect does emphasizing the characters' tone have on our understanding of the poem? How does changing the tone affect how we interpret the Duke's intentions? Is it possible that students can interpret the Duke's words without finding any malice? Why or why not?
