Motif is basically elements in the poem with symbolic meanings. So, in these poems you have listed, each of them have a motif of death through symbolization. For instance, in the poem "Ah, Are You Digging My Grave" he uses symbolism to express that he is dead and buried as you can see from the title itself and the first verse, "Ah, are you digging on my grave, <span>My loved one? -- planting rue?"

For "My Last Duchess" shows a great point of symbolism when the jealous Duke has a portrait of the Duchess he killed behind his curtains to ensure his dominance over her even when she is already dead.

In the last poem, "The Lady of Shalott" the character herself is a symbol. In the verses, "</span>The reaper, reaping late and early, Hears her ever chanting cheerly, Like an angel, singing clearly" it uses metaphors that symbolize death with the word, "reaper and reaping". 

Hope I was able to help you. :)

Which describes the narrator's perspective in Shania's Diary?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer: C) first person point of view

Explanation: The first person point of view describes the narrator's perspective in Shania's diary because Shania relates her own story i.e the story was told from Shania's perspective. To justify this, we often see the words; "I, Me, We, Us" (grammatical first person) been used. Shania spoke alot about her self in the diary and also the events she experienced.

Answer:

If it was me I would not put Subjective in my poem

Explanation:

The reason why is because to me subjective means to leave out of or to separate so you would not want to separate what you are writing about. I am not sure tho. that's my guess. Please Give Brainlyist!!!

What is the effect of foreshadowing in Shakespeare’s Macbeth
nydimaria [60]

The effect of foreshadowing in Shakespeare's Macbeth creates a sense of tension and a slight sense of dramatic irony as many characters in the play are oblivious to their fate whereas the audience may know what is going to happen.
