In Matthew Arnold's poem,"Dover Beach," what does the speaker have in common with Sophocles?Is "Dover Beach," a dramatic monologue?Explain why or...

Just as Arnold listened to "an eternal note of sadness" in
the waves of the Dover sea, he imagined Sophocles to have heard in the Aegean sea a
similar melancholy note, "the turbid ebb and flow of human misery". Arnold, an English
poet of the Victorian age, was substantially grounded in ancient Greek literature, and
discovered himself in line with the Greek master,
Sophocles.

Yes, Dover Beach can be
read as a dramatic monologue spoken by the poet at a time of moral-spritual crisis, a
monologue addressed to his mistress on a moon-lit night at the beach of the Dover
sea.
