I like the poetry of Robert Browning, and this poem is a particular favorite of mine. With each line, Browning develops the character of the duke. Check it out -- read it a few times and see if you agree that he's a real "piece of work" -- an odious and pompous autocrat who's so jealous and intolerant of his last duchess's disposition, and, unwilling or unable to 'stoop' to 'correct' her, he 'gives commands' so 'all smiles stop together."
Worse, even, are his future plans...But I think I've said enough. Read it again. This one's worth it.

Indeed, k_soccer, the thread that Scheherazade provided a link for, found here should help. If not, then I would love to answer any questions you have. :nod:
