Robert Browning’s My Last Duchess. In this poem, the Duke of Ferrara speaks to an envoy about a portrait of his late wife, subtly revealing his arrogance, jealousy, and controlling nature. Through his speech, we learn about his personality and his twisted view of love and power.##
#@#The silent listener, the envoy, is implied but never responds, which emphasizes the Duke’s dominance in the conversation. This setup, combined with the psychological depth and character study it provides, makes My Last Duchess a quintessential dramatic monologue.###@
