It is composed in a recognised literary form - The Dramatic Monologue.
The whole poem may be spoken or performed as if it were a play with the speaker cast as the Duke and the hearer ()or reader) cast as the envoy who has come to negotiate the Duke's suit for the hand in marriage of the new Duchess.
The literary device of the 'unreliable narrator' is used to ironic and telling effect: in describing his relationship with his deceased wife the Duke unwittingly exposes himself as arrogant, cruel, obsessive and jealous and as a man who sees a wife as an object to posess and control. He is obviously a totally inappropriate husband for the Count's 'fair daughter' and it is this realisation that causes the envoy to attempt rushing headlong from the room.
