"My Last Duchess" Thesis

My thesis for "My Last Duchess":

In “My Last Duchess,” a poem by Robert Browning, Ferrara speaks of his first wife and the devotion and obedience he expected from her. Despite some evidence to the contrary it becomes obvious, through certain hints from Ferrara that he has killed his wife.

You have a strong thesis and it should make for a great paper. You could address who the speaker is talking to about his wife and whether or not that you could provide enough evidence that he killed his wife.

Thanks for helping me revised my thesis statement. I compared your thesis to mine and yours is well written and doesn't provide too much information like mine did. Your thesis is pretty good overall.
