Compare at least four poems from the ones you have studied where astrong dislike for another person is shown. create verbally about My LastDuches a poem from Duffy, one form Armitage and another from the pre1914 poetry bank.My Last Duchess was written by Robert Browning and published in 1842.It is found on a real person. Alfonso, Duke of Ferrara (1537-1597),married fourteen year-old Lucrezia de Medici in 1158 when he wastwenty one. Three years later she was killed, possibly poisoned. TheDuke then arranged to link the daughter of the count of Tyrol. As wascustomary at the time, the marriage arrangements were arranged betweenthe Duke and a go between.My Last Duchess is a poem in which the appearing of the poem isdifferent from the reality. When read My Last Duchess appears to bea civilised conversation between the Duke and a Noble piece in which thetopic of conversation is brought about by the Dukes decision to showthe his very privileged guest a great masterpiece and to recounts omething of his previous wife. Beneath the surface, however, is aruthless report of ruthless power and the Dukes disapproval of thenatural and innocent behaviour of his nave wife, who apparently doesnot know the value of his great name.The poem has a very abrupt beginning and appears to be one half of aconversation. Browning opens with the Duke explaining why he has namedthe painter, and that the painting is kept behind a curtain which healone is permitted to draw back. And when he does this it seems asthough the viewer is keen to ask why only the Duke is allowed to drawthe curtain, but is too frightened to ask. We likewise note he is not beenthe first to question this action. We learn that the Duke is verypar... ...from Book of Matches.Like The laboratory & my last Duchess, Hitcher is a dramatic monologuein which a man confesses to murder. We notice that he is like, yetunlike, his victim. Briefly the man in the poem has been taking timeoff work feigning unsoundness and not ans wering the phone.As this man drives out of Leeds he picks up a hitchhiker who istravelling light and has no set destination. Some little fashion later heattacks he attacks his passenger, and throws him out of thestill-moving car. The last he sees of the hiker, he is bouncing offthe kerb, and then disappearing down the verge we do not if he isdead or just badly injured. The driver does not care.Unlike My last Duchess & the Laboratory the man in Hitcher does notknow the man that he has killed. He does not even have a real motivefor killing like the Characters in the other poems do.
