Narrator Hesitation in My Last Duchess
Which of the following excerpts from Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" best illustrates the narrator's use of hesitation or fragmented speech?
A
Who'd stoop to blame / This sort of trifling? Even had you skill / In speech - (which I have not) - to make your will / Quite clear to such an one
B
That's my last Duchess painted on the wall, / Looking as if she were alive. I call / That piece a wonder, now: Fra Pandolf's hands / Worked busily a day, and there she stands.
C
She thanked men, - good! but thanked / Somehow - I know not how - as if she ranked / My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name / With anybody's gift.
D
She had / A heart- how will I say? - too soon made glad. / Too easily impressed: she liked whate'er / She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.
