Popis: “Defamiliarization” proposed by Shklovsky is a very important concept in Russian formalism literary theory. It emphasizes fresh feelings, the texture of things and specific forms of art. The English poet Robert Browning subtly incorporates the technique of defamiliarization in the poem My Last Duchess and integrates various techniques to make unexpected achievements in character portraying and plot development. Therefore, this paper interprets Browning’s monologue My Last Duchess from the perspective of defamiliarization and analyzes the anti-automatization charm brought by language, narrative and symbolism, and opens the door to the deep meaning of this poem.
