The Duke of Ferrara is the speaker in 'My Last Dutchess'. The Duke dominates a conversation about the picture of his dead wife. He starts out presenting himself as a cultured nobleman whose heart is broken from an unhappy marriage to a beautiful, heartless, scheming young flirt. But he quickly shows himself to be a coldblooded killer and a control freak. The work in question is a poem, in the form of a monologue, by Robert Browning [May 7, 1812-December 12, 1889].
