'My Last Duchess' by Robert Browning (analysis pt 2/2)

Two actors analyse the poem 'My Last Duchess' by Robert Browning. They explore the poem as a dramatic monologue, discussing its rhythm, rhyme, language and imagery. They explain how the language creates a sense of authority, with emphasis on personal control. The use of blank verse with internal rhyme encourages the listener to hear the sense of the sentences, while the rhyme and rhythm drive the story in the poem forward.
