Tennyson′s ″Ulysses″ and Browning′s ″My Last Duchess″ are both dramatic monologues. A single speaker speaks throughout. Even if questions are asked, no other speaker replies. Compare these two poems
and the motivation the poets may have had for presenting them in this form. Additionally, what differences do you see in presentation and theme. You have a lot of freedom here; there is nothing
specific that I am looking for, other than a well-argued discussion of these two poems that share the same form.
