The unfaithful duchess



Question #3

The Duke eliminated his last duchess because she undervalued him and she treated him like she treated other men, some events occurred that produced this response from the Duke. The Duke talked about in the poem about the way she looked and talked to men,

“Too easily impressed; she liked whate’er she look on, and her looks went everywhere.”

As the Duke described she was a beautiful woman to him and all other men, but there was a price to pay for her looks and that was she wasn’t very faithful in the relationship between her and the Duke. The Duke discussed how she always had men give her gifts, such as cherries, but she never appreciated the Duke as much as she should have being his wife. The duchess never cared about how faithful the Duke was, so the Duke ended the relationship, (execution, divorce, etc.)
