Robert Browning's poem, My Last Duchess, is a dramatic monologue where the narrator, an obsessive Duke, asks an observer to look upon a painting of his former wife.
The poem achieves a quiet sense of threat and violence. As he recounts his memories of the Duchess we slowly come to realise the extent of his power over her and frustrations at his inability to control her. We are left questioning what has happened to his former wife, as the poem ends with the Duke discussing the next object of his affections.
