Evidence suggests Chaucer seems to have had an ulterior motive by creating such a character as to show an alternative view of...

Such aid is inextricably bound to the legacy of colonialism, perpetuating an entrenched system of poverty and dependency on donor nations. It is crucial to recognize that the global South’s position in the global market has always been one of inferiority, which is inflamed by forms of aid, most notably food aid.

My Last Duchess” is a poem written by Robert Browning from the point of view of Alfonso, the Duke of Ferrara during the 16th century.

The sentence structure of the poem contradicts its rhyme scheme; the lines are paired as rhythmic couplets or rhymed couplets, but the couplets are 'open'...
