<em><u>Ol' Higue is a poem in the form of a dramatic monologue, which is the type of poem that contains features of both lyric & dramatic poetry. Dramatic poem: persona in dramatic situation interacting with someone who does NOT speak.</u></em>
Explanation:
In this poem, the Ol' Higue / soucouyant tells of her frustration with her lifestyle. She does not like the fact that she sometimes has to parade around, in the form of a fireball, without her skin at night. She explains that she has to do this in order to scare people, as well as to acquire baby blood.
Well I've read the original...It all started after she was borrowing a necklace from a friend to look fancy when she goes to this ball/meeting. Then she looses it so the best guest is A because her and her husband were struggling to go from jewelry store to jewelry store looking for a necklace that looked just like the one she lost.
