What is Love in the time of Twitter?

Tweet di un discorso amoroso, a book by R.Cotroneo gives us an idea about this topic.
It is an essay, narrative, private diary that tries to give at writing new and more authentic feelings. It tells how the passion can change the lives of each of us: our vision, our future, our desires, our intensity.

"The book is not a book" : it doesn't' follow a plot, but represents a series of thoughts that reflect the sense of today's interpersonal communication, in a society where
social networks have changed the way we interface and the way in which love is a phrase left on the timeline of Facebook or Twitter.

Twitter is an online social networking service and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read text-based messages of up to 140 characters, known as "tweets".
Since its launch, Twitter has become one of the ten most visited websites on the Internet.

This kind of communication is very different from the dramatic monologue of the end of 19th century. The features of the dramatic monologue provides a single person, who is not the poet, utters the speech that makes up the whole of the poem, in a specific situation at a critical moment. This person addresses and interacts with one or more other people; but we know of the auditors' presence, and what they say and do, only from clues in the discourse of the speaker. The main principle controlling the poet's choice and formulation of what the lyric speaker says is to reveal to the reader, in a way that enhances its interest, the speaker's temperament and character.

Within the dramatic monologue you notice the possession by those who speak of a knowledge of literary tradition, the use of quotations from the authors is due to a complete understanding and awareness. In social networks is more frequent the use of quotes from songs, movies, TV series, often without the awareness of the real meanings.
