C. Motivation
D. all of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Poetry is a genre of literature that uses language to elicit a focused creative knowledge of experience or a particular emotional response through the use of language that has been chosen and arranged for its meaning, tone, and rhythm. These three genres—lyrical, narrative, and dramatic—make up any form of poetry ever written and have a strong presence in writing around the world.

Complete answer:
A Dramatic Monologue is a poem written in the form of a character's speech that condenses a chronological sense of the speaker's past and psychological insight into his character into a single vivid scene. As a result, we can deduce that dramatic monologue will provide the reader with insight into the character's emotions, feelings, and motivation.

The dramatic monologue has also been influenced by novels and plays, especially as a means of characterization. These poems are dramatic in the sense that they have a theatrical quality to them; that is, they were composed with the intention of being read aloud to an audience. The poem is a monologue, which means that it is composed entirely of the words of a single speaker, with no dialogue from other characters.

Therefore, the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: Robert Browning's poem "My Last Duchess" is often anthologized as an example of the dramatic monologue. Browning's Dramatic Lyrics published it in 1842. The poem is written in 28 iambic pentameter rhyming couplets.
