comment on the evolution of Marcy's relationship with duke in the story a dog named duke?

Answer 1

First Marcy didnt like duke but when due to duke his husband started to walk again she grew fond of him. And when he died she was very sad

Answer 2

Marcy has been depicted not as an ideal wife in the story, but also a kind and great human being also. Initially when Hooper brought Duke home, Marcy was not happy with the dog. She liked small dogs such as a Pomeranian. But after Hooper’s accident her attitude to Duke changed. She was stunned to see Duke taking so much care of Hooper. She is sensitive to the great dog's unique qualities. She is grateful to Duke for helping her husband be on his own. And at the end, when Duke is knocked over by car, she immediately rushes him to the hospital; she is very much concerned about Duke. And finally the loss of Duke deeply affects her.
