Through “My Last Duchess”‚ Browning exposes the innermost characteristics of the Duke of Ferrara. The Duke is the speaker of the poem and is hashing out the details of another marriage with an emissary from a Count when he draws a curtain to reveal a magnificent fresco of the Duke’s Last Duchess. The emissary voices a question about the expression on her face‚ an “earnest glance” of “depth and passion” (line 8)‚ prompting the Duke’s monologue. Looking upon the artwork‚ the Duke praises “Fra Pandolf’s

the ball in my hands‚ sweat falling off my forehead like a waterfall into my eyes‚ I stare confidently at the gole‚ ready to shoot my first free throw. My teammates are lined up behind me at the half court line yelling words of encouragement. I shoot my first shot and the ball flies through the air. After what seems like years‚ it sinks in the rim with a loud swoosh‚ and the crowd erupts with loud cheers. My teammates rush up to me‚ high-fiving and telling me to end the game with this last shot.

National Holidays Our society in the US today is one that enjoys traditions and celebrations. We are able to see this due to the crazy amount of holidays we have‚ ranging from important to foolish.

In Robert Browning ’s "My Last Duchess‚" a portrait of the egocentric and power loving Duke of Ferrara is painted for us. Although the duke ’s monologue appears on the surface to be about his late wife‚ a close reading will show that the mention of his last duchess is merely a side note in his self-important speech. Browning uses the dramatic monologue form very skillfully to show us the controlling‚ jealous‚ and arrogant traits the duke possessed without ever mentioning them explicitly. The

1. My last Duchess’s Duke begins by bringing up the portrait which he starts reminiscing but they aren’t the most positive thoughts. Memories of the last duchess’s attitude towards other men‚ the Duke had the feeling of being unappreciated by passing on a Victorian name and she did not give the name any respect. I think that all the duchess’s actions made the Duke react by giving the command to “take care of her‚” meaning to get rid of her by death so he can remarry. 2. Ferrara is addressing the

Compare Last and Lover (An Analysis of Robert Browning’s Poems) Have you ever read two different things and connected them together in a type of way?
