he physically abused in the text (he is spat on
and kicked), his business is undermined, and he is
an alien in his own city. A modern audience would

Duke Of Ferrara Dramatic Monologue

and surprise, and extensive use of figurative
language to support the theme of possessive love
in his works "My Last Duchess" and "Porphyria's
Lover." The dramatic personae in these works
provide surprising accounts of their tormented and
often jealous love and the results of their
actions determine the startling revelations within
each monologue. Their possessive love not only
drives them to violent acts,...

God Is Dead Existence Of God

valid or not. In the following arguments, it will

and the intent behind it, i. e. faith, is just as
skewed. Also a proof will be presented as to how
this master scheme was orchestrated to achieve
ultimate social power and control though a popular
stimulus, religion. Christianity came into

characters and endings of her short stories and
novels. Her writings have been described as
understated, orderly, un experimental fiction,

vision, in defiance, it would seem, of those
restless innovators who...
