Absence are excuse for school
Answer:
In the poem, the Duke is very overprotective of the paint, when he declares <em>"since none puts by The curtain I have drawn for you, but I" </em>meaning no one will touch it but him. At the same time, he is using a lot of details about her dead wife and shows his jealousy when he says <em>"not Her husband’s presence only called that spot Of joy into the Duchess’ cheek" </em>she was too kind with everyone, not only with him and he wanted to be the only attention of her, "<em>She thanked men—good! but thanked Somehow—I know not how—as if she ranked My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name"</em>. In that phrase, he claims to be an important figure.
He seems overly proud of the paint, but with more interest at the end of meeting and marrying a new woman <em>"Though his fair daughter’s self, as I avowed At starting, is my object. Nay, we’ll go Together down, sir."</em> The poem shows that he was not a nice man but superficial and depreciable.
