Question

Identify the correct ones among the following:
A. The dramatic monologue ensures the reciprocal dialogue of the narrator.
B. The nineteenth century poets fully exploited the poetic form of dramatic monologue
C. The poetry of experience by Robert langbaum outlines a discussion on dramatic monologue
D. The linguistic pragmatics make the narcissistic speaker of dramatic monologue speak exclusively
E. The speaker and the listener in the dramatic monologues of Robert browning share the same pedestal of communication.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A.

A, Band C only

B.

B, C and D only

C.

C,D and E only

D.

B, D and E only

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) B, C and D only because Statement A is incorrect. Dramatic monologues do not ensure the reciprocal dialogue of the narrator. The speaker in a dramatic monologue typically addresses a silent listener, who may or may not respond.
Statement B is correct. The nineteenth century poets, such as Robert Browning and Alfred Lord Tennyson, fully exploited the poetic form of dramatic monologue. They used the dramatic monologue to explore the complex inner lives of their characters and to reveal their hidden thoughts and feelings.
Statement C is correct. Robert Langbaum's book, The Poetry of Experience, is a seminal work on dramatic monologue. In his book, Langbaum argues that dramatic monologues are poems that dramatize the experience of a single speaker. He also discusses the different types of dramatic monologues and the techniques that poets use to create them.
Statement D is correct. The linguistic pragmatics of dramatic monologue make the narcissistic speaker speak exclusively. The speaker in a dramatic monologue is often so self-absorbed that they are unaware of the listener's presence. This can lead to some very funny and ironic moments in the poem.
Statement E is incorrect. The speaker and the listener in the dramatic monologues of Robert Browning do not share the same pedestal of communication. In fact, Browning often uses the relationship between the speaker and the listener to create tension and suspense in his poems.
Therefore, the correct answer is (b) B, C and D only.
