My Last Duchess Summary

●In “My Last Duchess,” the Duke addresses an emissary of the Count whose daughter the Duke intends to marry. He shows the emissary a portrait of his first wife (the titular "last duchess"). In the process, the Duke reveals some unpleasant truths about himself.

“My Last Duchess” summary key points:

●The Duke shows the commissioned painting of his first wife. The painting is kept hidden behind a curtain that is drawn aside only by the Duke.

●The Duke tells the envoy the tale of his first wife. She was equally pleased by everything and by everybody; her pleasure had a passionate earnestness to it.

●The Duke's story ends with his ambiguous statement that he "gave orders" resulting in his wife's ultimate silence. This suggests she was murdered.

●The Duke discusses his demands for a dowry and his statue of the god Neptune taming a fragile, innocent seahorse. The statue is symbolic of himself and his first young bride.
