Why does Morrison describe the house and not the ghost in it as spiteful?

Answer 1

Happiness and beauty is relative, varies depending on person and circumstances. Robert Browning shows that the duke admires his wife s paint on the wall more than his wife herself. This shows that the value of someone s absence may be better than his absence and more appreciated. Duke hatred and blamed his wife for everything she does and ask her to live as he planned for her not as she desired. Now, he praises her but when she became a painting on the wall as he killed her. So, he could control her and determined who is allowed to see her glance and smile The poem arrangement shows the feeling of duke that he is a superior and any one whatever he had, is less than him. This refers to his love for possession as he describes "That piece a wonder" as if his wife has no sense but consider as anything of his property. He also feels the depth and passion in her glance but no one except him could control to whom this glances could be sent. He does not treat with the Duchess as his wife, but instead, his belongings.
