ENGL 3P45 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Dramatic Monologue, T. S. Eliot, Objective Correlative
Document Summary
Victorian anxieties are building about stories like dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. Dramatic monologue is contradictory because monologue assumes that it is 1 person but you can explore split subjects in them. The notion as an essential self might not be true. There is not just 1 version of yourself. Deride (cid:862)all (cid:449)riti(cid:374)g is hidi(cid:374)g the truth(cid:863) Some of the earliest poems are riddles which are unclear. It is like putting on a mask, you may be hiding but telling the truth. There is no accreditation, who said this and were. They cannot help it, people get inspiration from everyone. The word persona is used in the latin opening; persona is mask in latin. Prufro(cid:272)k does(cid:374)"t tell (cid:455)ou it is da(cid:374)te.
