Question 1 (Suggested time 40 minutes)

Carefully read Robert Browning’s “My Last my Duchess” and “Porphyria’s Lover.” Both poems employ characterization in dramatic monologue where the speaker reveals the “most horrific example of a mind totally mad [and jealous] despite [their] eloquence in expressing [themselves].” Compare the two poems for style, irony, and poetic meaning.

Also, submit a 1/2 page precis on the strategy of multiple-choice as based on the AP prep books that each of you have taken home.

Both assignment are due Monday.
