  11. From critic M.H. Abrams: Dramatic Monologue 2. This person addresses and interacts with one or more other people; but we know of the [audience’s] presence, and what they say and do, only from clues [from the] single speaker.

  12. From critic M.H. Abrams: Dramatic Monologue 3. The main principle controlling the poet's choice and formulation of what the speaker says is to reveal to the reader, in a way that enhances [his/her] interest, the speaker's temperament and character.
