u Theme- (1)
broadly and commonly, a topic explored in a literary work (e.g., “the value of
all life”); (2) more narrowly and properly, the insight about a topic
communicated in a work (e.g., “ All living things are equally precious”). Most
literary works have multiple themes, though some people reserve the term theme for the central or main insight
and refer to others as subthemes.
Usually, a theme is implicitly communicated by the work as a whole rather than
explicitly stated in it, though fables are an exception.

u dramatic monologue:
Dramatic monologue refers to a type of poetry. These poems are dramatic in the sense that they have a theatrical quality; that is, the poem is meant to be read to an audience. To say that the poem is a monologue means that these are the words of one solitary speaker with no dialogue coming from any other characters. Think of one person standing alone on a stage speaking to an audience. Certainly, you are part of that audience, but the poem usually implies that the speaker is mainly talking to a specific person(s).
Dramatic
irony:
Dramatic irony is when the words and actions of the
characters of a work of literature have a different meaning for the reader than
they do for the characters. This is the result of the reader having a greater
knowledge than the characters themselves. It’s a contradiction between what a
character says and what the audience knows. Dramatic irony occurs when the
reader or spectator knows more about the true state of affairs then the
characters themselves.
u William
Faulkner’s Nobel Prize Speech
Until he relearns these things, he will
write as though he stood among and watched the end of man. I decline to accept
the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he
will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from
the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening,
that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny
inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man
will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone
among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion
and sacrifice and endurance.
The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things. It is his
privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the
glory of his past. The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man, it
can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.
