What is a thematic parallel?
When two works of literature share the same theme, one can say that they are thematically parallel, or share a thematic parallel.For example, many works of Hermann Hesse, a well known German author, share the theme of "coming of age," known in German as "Bildungsroman."Other coming of age novels would be "Great Expectations," by Charles Dickens; "A Tree Grows in Broooklyn," by Betty Smith; "The Catcher in the Rye," by J.D. Salinger, "Jane Eyre," by Charlotte Bronte; "A Porrait of the Artist as a Young Man," by James Joyce. Some of Hermann Hesse's coming of age novels are: "Peter Camenzind," "Gertrude," "Beneath the Wheel," and "Klingsor's Last Summer." Other famous Western European coming of age novels are "The Sorrows of Young Werther," J.W.F. von Geothe; "Sentimental Education," by Gustave Flaubert; "The Picture of Dorian Gray," by Oscar Wilde; "The Magic Mountain," by Thomas Mann; "Invisible Man," by Ralph Ellison.These novels were written in many countries, over the course of hundreds of years-but share the same theme, or, share a thematic parallel.

What is the summary of 'my last dutchess'?
The speaker of the poem is a duke, and he is talking about a painting of his dead wife, who was young and pretty. (A woman who marries a duke becomes a duchess.) It turns out that the duke killed his wife! He did it because she was nice to everyone -- not just him. He was jealous, even of her smiling at people. The twist at the end is where you realize that he's talking to a messenger who is arranging the duke's marriage to another young, pretty girl. His NEXT duchess. He hopes that this new girl will work out better than the last one. Also, toward the end of the poem the poet talks about a statue of Neptune and how he tamed a sea horse and how it was thought to be rare in its beauty. This is a metaphor for how he tamed his wife by having her killed, calling himself Neptune and his last wife a seahorse whom once was elegant but is now tamed and put on display for him to look at whenever he wants.

He has Macduff's children (unclear how many of these there are, but more than two anyway) and Servants (again unclear how many) killed. Do we want to count the soldiers who died fighting for him?
