A Comparison Between Emily Grierson and the Duke of Ferrara and what had happened to him. Emily Grierson, who was totally excluded from her town, had her problems and amazed her residents with her eccentric actions. Emily and the Duke of Ferrara are similar because they were both involved in the deaths of their lovers. The Duke of Ferrara and Emily Grierson share some qualities, but they had different motivations for killing their lovers and played different roles. Emily is different from the Duke in how she personally killed Homer by giving him arsenic. While the duke ordered his duchess to be killed. They both had motives for the deaths of their lovers. She did it because she was afraid of losing him since the only person she loved was her father and he died. Emily felt like she had to kill Homer or she would feel alone. The Duke gave the order to have his Duchess killed because he was jealous and wanted control over her life. He was tired of the way she acted and the lack of respect for his name and social status. The Duke complains about how his Duchess treated his and anyone else's gifts the same, he wanted her to appreciate his gift with respect and not treat his gift as if it were Nothing. “She thanked the men, --- good! But thanked... Somehow I now know how, as if putting my gift of a nine-hundred-year-old name with anyone's gift" (stanza 31-34) . Both Emily and the Duke were connected to the deaths of their lovers, but their motivations were different. The theme of “A Rose for Emily” deals with death, traditions versus change, and it’s sort of man versus society. Emily Grierson was considered middle of paper......e Browning's poem is about a Duke who is simply annoyed by the fact that his Duchess values everything and disrespects her nine hundred name. In Faulkner's short story, the theme is the decline of the Old South. However, they are similar in how they both involve obsession, control, jealousy, pride, and death. Emily Grierson and the Duke of Ferrara aren't too different. Perhaps one could say that they would make a perfect couple since Emily's life has always been controlled by her father. Plus, the Duke would be happy to be in control of his life. They are both obsessed with different things, jealous of their lover, proud in different ways. Besides, they had secrets and their secret was that they were involved in the deaths of their lovers. Emily Grierson didn't change and ended up dying. As the Duke focuses on his next victim which foreshadows another death that could take place.
