The poem unfolds through the voice of a Duke who reveals his late wifes portrait, utilizing rich imagery and subtle irony to unveil the darker aspects of human emotion and relationships. Brownings mastery of the monologue format creates a tension between the Dukes polished exterior and the sinister implications of his words, reflecting the societal dynamics of his time, where status and control often eclipsed individuality and compassion. Robert Browning, a monumental figure in Victorian poetry, was deeply influenced by the artistic and cultural movements of his era, particularly the fascination with Italian settings and historical narratives. His own experiences with love and tragedy, coupled with his keen awareness of social hierarchies, provided him with a profound understanding of the complexities of human nature. My Last Duchess stands as a testament to Brownings ability to dissect the psychological motivations behind characters actions, revealing the societal pressures that shape their identities. For readers intrigued by psychological depth and dramatic tension, My Last Duchess offers a compelling exploration of power dynamics within intimate relationships. Brownings intricate language and vivid characterizations make this poem a must-read for those interested in the darker aspects of human nature and the societal constructs that govern our lives.</p>...2173628My Last Duchess4646https://www.gandhi.com.mx/my-last-duchess-4/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2014999/9970bb70-35d5-43b2-9697-2bc8b0bfb1d6.jpg?v=638708718050800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239788028310141_W3siaWQiOiIxNzA4NDg4OC00ZTUyLTQ4NjgtYjNjMi1jZDA4ZmMzNmI4NzkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ2LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9788028310141_<p>My Last Duchess is a poem, frequently anthologised as an example of the dramatic monologue. It first appeared in 1842 in Brownings Dramatic Lyrics. The poem is written in 28 rhymed couplets of iambic pentameter. The poem is set during the late Italian Renaissance. The speaker (presumably the Duke of Ferrara) is giving the emissary of the family of his prospective new wife (presumably a third or fourth since Browning could have easily written second but did not do so) a tour of the artworks in his home. He draws a curtain to reveal a painting of a woman, explaining that it is a portrait of his late wife; he invites his guest to sit and look at the painting. Robert Browning (1812 - 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, and in particular the dramatic monologue, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. His poems are known for their irony, characterization, dark humor, social commentary, historical settings, and challenging vocabulary and syntax. The speakers in his poems are often musicians or painters whose work functions as a metaphor for poetry.</p>...9788028310141_Sharp Inklibro_electonico_c9ab6e80-8a97-39da-b8ed-31866528c24b_9788028310141;9788028310141_9788028310141Robert BrowningInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/ciando-epub-884afc18-3733-41b8-b15e-6d79c1e16a4d.epub2023-09-12T00:00:00+00:00Sharp Ink
