Response Question for R 9/30 and M 10/4

For this response question, please refer to the poem "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning. This poem is a great example of the poetic form known as a dramatic monologue. One of the most interesting characteristics of a dramatic monologue is analyzing how the speaker inadvertently reveals him/herself through the words spoken.

In your post, please analyze what and how the speaker in Browning's poem unknowingly reveals his past and his true intentions to the audience. Make sure you reference specific lines, and if you don't know a word, look it up!
