Today in class we will review (chapter 7): Paradox, Irony, Satire: 829-839, “My Last Duchess”. As we read "My Last Duchess" - think about the speaker, think about the main idea or theme, think about the mention of art in the poem and what ideas "art" or artwork here reinforces? Think about form.
HOMEWORK: read chapters 5-6
You should know the following after reading the homework: Hyperbole, Understatement (including litotes), Satire, Verbal Irony, Dramatic Irony, and Situational Irony.
You will eventually write a poetry explication of "My Last Duchess"
