Robert Browning's narrator (which should not be mistaken as Browning himself) is a rather unpleasant fellow. As he discusses the dowry for his future bride to an emissary, they stop in front of a portrait of his late duchess and the narrator reminisces about her.
Directions: How does the speaker reveal his true character through his monologue on the last duchess? Use at least 2 quotes from the text to back up your views. Make sure you fully explain the significance of the quotes. Remember that if we as readers thought the quotes could stand on their own without explanation, then we would not need you to play the role of the critic and point them out.
