Dramatic Monologues: Maud, Part I, Sections I-V.
A tragic tale unwinds.

A similarity I’ve noticed between Tennyson and Byron: sets of three words used to describe the tension, stress, or actions of the speaker or other characters in the work. Done theatrically and to great effect.

Ballads: Oriana; The Lord of Burleigh; The Sisters’ Shame

These three are very dark ballads. No happy endings in these lines.
