Fra Pandolf's
name dropping
artist and monk
he is so jealous that he cannot have a man in the room with his wife that is no a monk as he has taken a vow of Chasity
the curtain have drawn for you
he has a curtain over her portrait
jealous
possesive
even in death he is controlling and have her under his power
spot of joy
she blushed as the monk was painting her
he cannot deal with this as he thinks that only he should make her blush, possessive
was the monk flirting with her?
he mantle laps over my ladys wrist too much
the monk was flirting wit her
how does he know this, spying?
he does not like this
things that she likes and he cannot stand that she could like things other than him as he is so possessive
droping of the daylight
cherries
white mule
rode around the terrace
she thanked men.... ranked my gift of a 900 year old name
he cannot deal with the fact she is thanking and liking other men that are not him
sense of entitlement
she his 'gift' on the same level as other gifts
her obedience
her thanks
her love
which i have not
he is saying that he is not good at speaking
false modesty
he clearly is articulate
he has spoken a whole speech n rhyming couplets and iambic pentameter
much the same smile
she smiles at other men the same way she smiles at him
he cannot stand this
he is talking to am emissary that is representing the count who is the fate of the dukes new wife, he is here to discuss the dowry that is going to come with the new wife
this grew;gave commands;then all smiles stopped together
semi colon shows a clear link between each event and action
he had her killed

metaphorically, he is controlling the delicate and fragile wife he is about to take

5 strong, 5 weak
