"What are the topics going to be like on the final essay?"

Sample:

A dramatic monologue is a poem whose speaker is NOT the poet, but a persona created by the poet. In a dramatic monologue, the speaker addresses a silent audience and in his/her speech reveals the dramatic situation and his/her own character. Explain "Hazel tells Laverne" and "My Last Duchess" as dramatic monologues. What words, phrases, lines from each poem indicate the situation and reveal the speaker's character.
