Compare and contrast the differing tones of “my last duchess” and “dover beach.” analyze how browning and arnold each develop their specific tones over the course of the two poems.

The tone of the Duke in “My Last Duchess” is sadistically amused and casual. He discusses the murder of his wife in a matter-of-fact and complacent tone but then fluctuates between being arrogant and threatening when he points out the statue of Neptune. The structured couplets in iambic pentameter reflect a mood of control and command.

The tone in “Dover Beach” is melancholic and sorrowful. The poem begins with a description of the beach but soon adopts a grave tone when the cadence of the waves is discussed, setting a mood of pain and anguish. The lack of a rhyme scheme and the free verse give the poem an effect of deep emotional involvement, while the use of alliteration and consonance create a somber harmony
