We read and analyzed My Last Duchess.

We went into detail of the poem and about how the duke saw his wife as a object to own and show off rather than truly love her.

An insight that I saw was that when the poem is discussed with others it can be cast in a whole new light.  Reading it once or twice by myself won't let me get a firm understanding of the poem as a whole.

I benefit from reading and discussing these poems in class. It helps me understand what the poet is trying to say.
