My last duchess
What is the theme of the poem My last duchess?
Top answer
Hi This is just my opinion: I think it is about the death of the Duke's soul. It is told as Victorian internal Gothic monologue (the Duke is speaking to someone else - but he's not really taking any notice of the other character) The poem starts to unfold various layers - there is a picture of his wife: his wife was unfaithful to him. What stories are there here?

- Unfortunately, none.
- She was unfaithful because she appeared to him as she appeared to other men And therefore, of course, she appeared to all men as she appears in the painting And where does this painting come from?
