Compare the central characters in ‘Medusa’ and ‘My Last Duchess’ Carol Ann Duffy’s ‘Medusa’ and Robert Browning’s ‘My Last Duchess’ are two entirely different poems in many respects. Written in entirely different eras‚ some would say that they are as opposite as poetry could be.

This paper examines the relationship between family members‚ and each person’s devotion to leaving the American dream‚ marred by secrets and the unwillingness to reckon the responsibility.
