Two of my last Duchess' poems, "My Last Duchess" is about a powerful duke and his beautiful and flirting wife. It is a woman in the picture. The beginning and end of the poem is to mourn the loss of his deceased Duchess, but from the way the powerful Duke speaks, he knows more about her death than to make them believe. When Duke talked with his friend about his wife's picture, he chose his words very carefully.

The first two lines of the poem introduce the theme of "Duke's speech" by his deceased wife. "This is the last Duchess I painted on the wall. / It seems to be alive." Duchess began to doubt that they are no longer alive, but it was not certain. The clever word Browning chose suggests something is wrong, but leaves enough ambiguity to attract us quickly as a reader's attention. Also in these respects, the Duchess first suggested that it is not so important for the Duke, he said that his paintings are like the Duchess. The Duchess appear to be alive. I do not seem to be alive. Again, this seemingly meaningless detail gives important hints about the future of poetry.

The image in 'My Last Duchess' not only conveys the Duchess and her portraits but also the darkness of the Duke's life. The Duke began his monologue and said, "This is the last Duchess I painted on the wall / as it seems to be alive" (1-2) The reader was hit by the image of the Duchess. The reader wondered how the Duchess died, so Duke lurked in a strange tone when he spoke. While the Duke continued to talk, he drew a brilliant picture of the Duchess. Duke, painter Flandre Pandorf praised her beautiful skin and said, "Paints / should not want to reproduce weak / half flowers dead along her throat" (17-19)

The tone of "My Last Duchess" uses three important poetry techniques. One of them is an image. Browning used the duke's monologue to depict the image of the duke's own mind and the ominous character of the duke. Browning also uses another important device that is used to describe the dark language in poetry. The choice of Browning's words will be added to the Duchess explanation, perhaps her shameful behavior, and the dreaded terrible embarrassment and expectation

"Maryal Mountain in this poem" explains the natural image.
