Denzel Usiagwu Discussion 4

I read “My last Dutchess” and at first I did find it hard to “complete” the poem but after going over it in class I was able to understand it better, The poem is about a manipulative Duke that killed his wife because he wasn’t able to control her and acts like or tries to hide that he didn’t.

I was able to “complete”  the poem because I found clues left by the author to help me grasp the Duke’s character and understand that he was lying and was an abusive husband, as he talked about that it was inevitable that she would be killed because she flirted with the painted, and how she was easy to please and blushed alot. All these clues led to me being able to understand that he killed her.
