Can men and women be just friends without any sexual tension between them? I don’t believe so. I believe‚ both from personal experience and from several scholarly sources‚ that there is always‚ at some point‚ a sexual attraction between two people of the opposite sex who have a friendly‚ pleasant relationship.

Browning’s dramatic monologue‚ “My Last Duchess‚” presents an account of men’s absolute power over women in the patriarchal society of the European Renaissance. Through the use of symbolism‚ creative structure and characterization‚ the author reveals the general helplessness of woman. Browing’s vision of 16th century’s Italy depicts the reality that women are little more than objects under the control of men. Symbolism is largely used in this poem to serve as a means for expressing the theme. The most
