Comment 5 of 15, added on March 26th, 2005 at 9:02 PM.

Can any-one expain the lines
"I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together."

Does this IMPLY that the Duke killed his wife, or that she just stopped smilling?

Browning conveys so much character in--what? 60 lines or so? What the poem conveys entirely through this one speech could be turned into a novel.
