THE TYRANNY PRIDE AND GREED IS IN SHARP CONTRAST TO THE GOOD NATURE:BROWNING

My Last Duchess is a fine specimen of dramatic monologue. the silent listener is the messenger of a count whose daughter the Duke in tends to wed. the Duke reveals his egotistical and possessive nature . That's My Last Duchess painted on the walls as the Duke in the very first line of the poem. through this Duke reveals his jealousy when he says that it was not her husband's presence only that called as what of joy into the duchess 's cheek'. he reveals Heartless cruelty when he says I gave commands then all Smiles stopped together. is diplomacy becomes clear his hypotheses scene when he says that the counts fair daughter and not the dowry his main object. the image of a sweet beautiful simple hearted and innocent girl at one springs alive before our eyes .she was indeed too good for the detestable beastly Duke there is a deep irony also when the Duke says about his demand for dowry irony means a contradiction between what is said and what is meant or is expected.
