In contrasting Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess," where the Duke’s possessive control over his deceased wife culminates in tragedy as he states, "I gave commands; then all smiles stopped together," with Anne Bradstreet's "To My Dear and Loving Husband," which celebrates a partnership founded on mutual love and eternal devotion—illustrating her sentiments when she proclaims, "I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold"—the two poems reveal divergent views on love, power, and the consequences of ownership in relationships.
write a thesis about the poems "my last duchess" by Robert Browning and "To my dear and loving husband" by Anne Bradstreet, you can use these summaries of the two poems if you have to:
“My Last Duchess” by Robert Browning is a dramatic poem, where a Duke talks about his view on power and control towards women, through the painting of his dead wife and he had her killed over an assumption of her cheating and the fact that she was too nice towards other men. "To My Dear and Loving Husband," the narrator shares her deep love and affection to her husband, meaning that her love towards him is strong, and she hopes their relationship will be eternal, and that their love is more worth than any gold or money.
