The Duke, the speaker in the poem, reveals his pride, arrogance and obsessive desire for control as he narrates the story of his late wife. He views her as a possession rather than a person and values her only because of how she reflects on his status and authority. His disdain for her independent expressions of joy and his chilling implications about her fate underscore his hubris and authoritarian nature.
