A Few Words by Sikes on "My Last Duchess"

Finally, a male author in this damn anthology! Browning does an excellent job portraying the Duke of Ferrara, and in a lot shorter length than his wife did in "Aurora Leigh". I guess even the rich can't avoid the inconwiencies and embar'sment that women bring. At least his wife knew her job was to obey men, but she obeyed all men instead o' her husband! She treated her husband just as nicely and happily as she treated any other man. Some women just too happy for they own good. Well, off to the streets to find my next house to rob, hopefully Fagin ain't out and 'bout, I don't need no little kid to train today.

    Now Sikes,that remark about the male authors doesn't seem too fair; women can write well too you know. And on the subject of this here poem by Robert Browning, this duchess seems like a lovely, beautiful young girl; however, I am not one to condone flirting with other men while married. It seems as though she needed to act a little bit more like a Lady. That's what we need- more women acting like Ladies than floozies.
