Once you provide the excerpt, I can tell you which techniques are used, such as:
* Dramatic Monologue: This is the primary technique used in the entire poem. The Duke is the sole speaker, revealing his personality and motivations through his words.
* Enjambment: Lines that run on without punctuation, creating a sense of urgency or continuous flow.
* Iambic Pentameter: A line with five metrical feet, each consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.
* Imagery: Vivid descriptions that appeal to the senses.
* Simile: Comparison using "like" or "as".
* Metaphor: Direct comparison without using "like" or "as".
* Symbolism: Objects or actions that represent larger concepts or ideas.
