Answer:
The Dolphins by Carol Ann Duffy is dramatic monologue voiced by a dolphin which revolves around the themes of exploitation displacement, alienation and the need for ecological conservation. The poem presents us a disturbing picture of what unregulated power is capable of doing to the lives of others. It provides us a perspective of the oppressed and thoroughly incriminates man for his love of power and dominance over others.
The speaker of this poem (a dolphin) narrates how its freedom has been usurped, how its dreams have been shattered and how drastically its world has changed, thanks to the insatiable greed of man. The lives of these beautiful sea creatures are completely controlled by man and they are made to dance to the tunes of the Master. The sense of alienation, their loss of freedom and the overarching hopelessness makes the poem all the more poignant, especially when they express their awareness of the inevitable fate that awaits them.
