Loved, But Wasn't Loved

3.        The duchess was a man magnet; they were all in awe of her. She was married though, her husband loved her so much, “she had a heart” he says but she didn’t love him as much as he loved her. This was upsetting to the duke and he hated the way she treated him. Here was her husband and she treated him like any other man. In lines, 30-39 says ,”she thanked men, - good! But thanked somehow-as if she ranked My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name with anybody’s gift…” He feels undervalued. This hurt him the most, he would show is love for her, shower her with complements and she treated him the same way when she got compliments from any other men. Eventually he cuts her off, he kills her, divorces her, something, ”oh sir, she smiled no doubt, whene’er I passed her; but passed without much the same smile? Then all smiles stopped together.” (43-46) he got fed up with the way she treated him, and he let her go.
