Question

from the poem 'prayer before birth' by Louis macneice.
what is a dramatic monologue?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In this particular poem the poet narrates the feelings and visualisations from the perspective of an unborn child. DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE refers to the views of a character (often imaginary) which gets expressed through a secondary character and who tries to provide a more in depth expression pertaining to the character's feeling. In this case the poet (secondary character) acts as the medium to express the feelings of the unborn child (primary as well as an imaginary one). Hope it helps!
