What is the primary poetic form of John Donne’s works?

  1. Iambic pentameter

  2. Lyric

  3. Blank verse

  4. Dramatic monologue

The correct answer is: Dramatic monologue

John Donne's works are primarily written in the form of dramatic monologue. This is evident in his use of a single speaker, his focus on intimate personal thoughts and feelings, and the use of rhetorical devices to convey the speaker's perspective. While other options, such as iambic pentameter and blank verse, may also be used in Donne's poetry, they are not the dominant form. Furthermore, although Donne's writing has lyrical qualities, it is not considered purely lyrical in nature. Therefore, the most accurate answer is dramatic monologue.
