While in Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado”, the narrator, Montresor, tells a story to an unknown person

    this poem was created, women were merely the trophy of men. Much like they have become augmented trophies of men today, women of the past had no say in anything. When people read this poem, they may think "why does the woman put up with the duke, why doesn't she leave him?" Back then, women listened to the man they belonged to; he was their master. Today, a woman with even the slightest bit of common sense does not put up with the attitude of any man. "Too easily impressed: she liked

    2445 Words  | 5 Pages

    To what extent, and in what ways, does the meaning of a literary text rest with its reader? The dictionary definition of the word ‘meaning’ is ‘what is meant by a word, text, concept, or action’. I will be focussing on what is meant by literary texts, and whether meaning is a single fixed idea created when the text is written by the author and is unable to change in any time or situation. Or whether meaning is a malleable form in which certain variables, such as the readers’ gender, class, age

  • Jealousy in Three Dramatic Monologues by Browning

    the Duke certainly appears to brag about his wife's flirtatious behaviour, and it stopping. Returning to the idea of cruel male domination, though, this is obviously apparent in 'My Last Duchess' when the Duke suddenly proclaims the following; "Notice Neptune, though, taming a sea-horse." I would argue that Neptune is representative of the Duke, 'taming' though I would suggest imprisoning, brutally dominating a beauty of nature, which is representative of the Duchess, whom the Duke violently

    "My Last Duchess" is a poem about an arrogant and extremely powerful Duke who is describing his deceased Duchess.
