Power and
and the abuse of power
My last duchess
Power
‘That’s my last duchess painted on the wall’
This shows that the duke is powerful enough to have a painting of his late wife on his wall
‘My gift of a nine-hundred-year-old name’
This shows his power as his ancestors have been around for 900 years and have kept the same last name.
Abuse of
power
‘That’s my last duchess painted on the wall’
This shows the duke also sees his late wife as his property as he has a painting of her on his wall.
London
Power
‘I wonder thro’ each charter’d street’
This shows how organised London is as each street has been planned.
Abuse of
power
‘Mind forg’d manacles’
This shows that the law has gone insane and that everyone has limitations on what they can and can’t do even though there is nothing physically stopping them.
‘Runs in blood down palace walls’
This shows that the monarch’s power has been used to kill, as the blood now runs down the palace walls.
Remains
Power
‘Dug in behind enemy lines’
This tells me that he cannot get rid of this image/moment as it is too well dig in. This also tells me that this moment has complete control over him.
Abuse of
power
‘So all three of us open fire’
This shows that these three men in this instant held this looters life in their hands and they chose to kill him
