Assonance is the use of repeated vowel sounds in a series of words. If the lines below are the supposed lines given: 
He was speckled with barnacles, fine rosettes of lime, ⇒ assonance vowel sound of "i"and infested with tiny white sea-lice, ⇒ assonance vowel sound of "i"and underneath two or threerags of green weed hung down. ⇒ assonance vowel sound of "e"While his gills were breathing in ⇒ assonance vowel sound of "i"the terrible oxygen --the frightening gills, ⇒ assonance vowel sound of "i"fresh and crisp with blood, that can cut so badly— ⇒ assonance "a"I thought of the coarse white flesh packed in like feathers, the big bones and the little bones, ⇒ assonance "i" and "o"

Does this monologue have such dramatic elements as conflict resolution dialogue and stage directions porphyrias lover
Dvinal [7]
Porphyria's Lover is a dramatic monologue that tells us the speaker's thoughts.

There is no conflict resolution: the poem ends with Porphyria dead by her lover's hand. No one has come upon them by the end of the poem and he has not been punished. What happens after this scene ends is unresolved.

There is no dialogue, either. The speaker of the poem tells us that Porphyria "calls" the speaker, but he does not relate her exact words. There is no dialogue in the poem.
Finally, there are no formal stage directions. The speaker does describe several actions happening during the poem -- as when the speaker tells us he strangles Porphyria with her hair -- but we do not have formal stage directions as one would get in a play.
