My own dramatic monologue!?!?!?

Question

I have to write a dramatic monologue from the perspective of the duchess from My Last Duchess by Robert Browning. I have to write about 500 words. Im so scared!! I really want to do well!! I just wanted to know how would i make it really good? And what kind of archaic language should i put in it? And anything else that this dramatic monologue would need to have!!

Thank you!!!!

Use the original work for examples of archaic language!  Try to put her feelings into a speech of some kind, and then let us help you out with problems you may encounter.

Thank you for replying!!

It has to written as though you are writing a letter to a friend. i went on to an old englsh dictionary and got some old english language from there. this is what i have so far. its not amazing ut im going to try and make it better!

Oh dear old fere,
Forget about what he has said.
Listen to what I have to say.
It is not my fault that I like the way they look at me.
He doesn’t give me anything, so why should I feel as though I owe him anything?
Oh, a nine hundred year old name; honestly, I have received far greater.
One could say that it was slightly better during the start of our marriage.
That fulsome man treated me like i was inferior.
But, as the youth disappeared and the autumn of life appeared, He got green eyed.
One would kench that such a man would show a feeling towards a situation so trivial as a hummingbird feather.
His tallt manner was the reason I acted in such a way.
Well, excuse me, any lady would feel beautiful if a man gave thou such a look; a look which was such a rarity in his world
and thus my world.
Until I met this other domain of legitimate love.
Not just the material kind.
Henceforth we began to brabble and thus came his anger and resentment.

Ive tried to make it as dramatic monologue-y as possible!

Thank you!
