Extract from 'My Last Duchess' by Robert Browning
That sonnet, I think, was written over a hundred years ago, by a poet whose name is lost to history. Yet it contains a vivid image of a woman, speaking with a voice that seems both tender and commanding:
'Her looks went everywhere. / Her eyes had all the beauty of the dawn, / Her lips were soft as petals, yet she was gone, / And all her grace was lost to her, now forlorn…'
The duke proceeds to describe his late wife in a tone that is both possessive and authoritative. His words reveal his view of her as a possession, and his attitude towards her behaviour, which he deemed inappropriate.
In this soliloquy, Browning employs a range of grammatical and literary devices to convey the duke’s character and emotions, including intricate sentence structures, pauses, and shifts in tone.
