উত্তরের বিবরণ
কবিতায় বলা হয়েছে—“And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep”। এখানে পপি ফুলকে ঘুমন্ত অবস্থায় বর্ণনা করা হয়েছে। পপি সাধারণত আফিম উৎপাদনের সঙ্গে যুক্ত, যা ঘুম, অলসতা ও বিস্মৃতির প্রতীক। টেনিসন এই প্রতীক ব্যবহার করে নাবিকদের মনোভাব ফুটিয়ে তোলেন। তারা যেমন দায়িত্ব ও সংগ্রাম ভুলে ঘুম ও প্রশান্তি কামনা করছে, তেমনি পপিও ঘুমের সঙ্গে জড়িত। এই চিত্রকল্প প্রকৃতির নিস্তব্ধতা ও মানুষের বিশ্রামের আকাঙ্ক্ষার মধ্যে সরাসরি সাদৃশ্য তৈরি করেছে।

Tennyson's "Ulysses" is a famous dramatic monologue. What is a key characteristic of a dramatic monologue?
Created: 1 month ago

A long narrative poem that tells a story
B
A poem where a single speaker addresses an implied audience
C
A poem with a fixed rhyme scheme and meter
D
A short, lyrical poem expressing personal feelings
Characteristics of dramatic monologue:
Single Speaker: Only one character speaks throughout the entire poem.
Implied Audience: The speaker is addressing someone (or several people) who are present in the scene but do not speak themselves. We learn about these listeners through the speaker's words.
Revelation of Character: The primary purpose of a dramatic monologue is to reveal the speaker's temperament, personality, and often their moral character, often unknowingly to themselves.
Specific Situation: The poem is set in a specific time and place, and the speech arises from a particular situation.
In "Ulysses," Ulysses is the single speaker, and he is addressing his mariners, urging them to embark on a new journey. Through his words, we gain deep insight into his restless spirit, his thirst for adventure, and his dissatisfaction with a life of idleness.
