The green Eudora Welty curtain dialect and the drama monologue are not mere outstanding writers. As a product of the rich oral tradition in the south, Welty thinks that the richness of local speech is one of the best gifts offered by her tradition (Vande Kieft 9). The characteristic of the southern speech is speaking, listening, and learning. Welty is a wonderful listener, and many of her stories are based on the conversation she mistakenly heard in her daily life. However, Welti took full advantage of the South talking tendency.
A dramatic monologue is defined as a poem where one character talks to one or more people - it is usually an important topic. The purpose of the most dramatic monologue is to provide the reader with a holistic or intimate perspective of the character's character. A great poet can make this poem look like a real conversation with punctuation and rhythm. Robert Browning, known as a drama monologue father, did this with his poem "My Last Duchess." The spokesperson Duke of Ferrara in "My Last Duchess" is portrayed as a jealous, arrogant man who dominates his wife very much.
In this article, I would like to discuss Robert Browning's more uneasy poetry "Lovers of Porphyria". This poem is a dramatic monologue, but it is different from "my last Duchess" which is the monologue of Browning's most famous theater. In exact contrast to "My last Duchess", the Duke praised Earle's special envoy in the story of his former Duchess, Porphylia's lover did not tell the other lives. Of course, this makes the monophy of Porphyria's lover more dramatic. Along the most important characteristics of the dramatic monologue, the personality of the Porphyria lover is revealed completely and alarmingly throughout his words.
