Greetings Uncle,
My most honourable Uncle, I am writing to inform you of a multitude of misconducts by the Duke of Ferrara, and to persuade you to abolish the marriage plans between him and your daughter immediately. The Duke is an abominable man who is unfit to marry your amiable, well-mannered daughter, Carol. With disheartening, horrific evidence at hand, I sincerely hope to change your mind about the entirety of this marriage. I attended his most recent speech at his palace and learned much about him that I feel would be of concern to you.
The Duke of Ferrara is a distasteful, abhorrent man who wishes to control everything around him. This is incredibly unhealthy for Carol, her being a self-driven woman. While he was still married to the last Duchess, Melanie, he “gave commands” (Line 45) to her on a regular basis. He treated her as someone less than him, rather than respecting her as a fine lady, referring to her as his “object” (Line 53). This in itself is disgusting, and he continues to believe that all her emotions belong to him. If the

Evidence I discovered reveals that the last Duchess’ death is the responsibility of the Duke, and the Duke alone. The Duke himself said that he “gave commands;/then all smiles stopped together” (Line 45-46). This in itself implies the last Duchess’s death. Also, he mentions the Duchess “looking as if she were alive” (Line 2) on numerous occasions. Chances are he wouldn’t mention that if she actually were alive. In addition to this, it is quite clear to see that he isn’t interested in having a wife for the sake of love at all; instead, his interests lie where the dowry sits. According to him, “no just pretence/Of mine for dowry will be disallowed” (Line 50-51). There is a strong possibility that he murdered the last Duchess not just to spare his own feelings, but with interests of getting remarried for more money, which is utterly
Another trend in the twelfth century was the arrangement of marriages to increase power, gain alliances, or to mend bad blood between people. This can be seen when the girl, after being in the tower for so long, says “A curse on my family, and on all the others, who gave me to this jealous man, who married me to his body” (72). It was not the girl’s choice to be married to this man because of love but due to her beauty, wisdom, and good family she was married to this rich man.
Since the men Catherine’s father always tried to arrange were not appealing, Catherine claimed, “ I would not wed the fat and flabby Fulk and would probably set him afire again” (74). Catherine was willing to do almost anything to get of a marriage, even if it got her into trouble. She did these kinds of pranks because she prefered to marry who she loved when she was ready. Catherine also feels, “Marriage seems to me to be but spinning, bearing children, and weeping” (97). Marriage, to Catherine seemed like the worst lady-tasks of them all. It was almost like acting like a slave doing work for your husband and kids, according to Catherine. Going against these marriages was a big risk for her especially with Lord Rollo’s and Morwenna’s strict rules. Catherine was a determined fourteen year old who always tried her hardest to escape all arranged marriages her father had set up, which took much courage from her
Jeremy K! Good evening, I miss you. We should be tangled up at this very moment! You do realize I would love to go to dinner, lunch, breakfast, brunch, tea, the movies, park, pool, Zoo, Aquarium, sonic, Walmart, chapel, golf course, darts aka anywhere with you correct?
The Cardinal and Ferdinand, the brothers of the Duchess, are very much against their sister’s re-marriage. Ferdinand urges her not to marry again. He condemns it because he thinks that it shows a lustful nature.
The Duchess beauty and her personality are liked by everyone. The Duke implies that the Duchess is flirtatious and unfaithful “She thanked men, --I know not how—” (31-32). How is he thinking? He sends a message to the reader that the Duchess is a whore. Her beauty and carefree behavior is unacceptable to the Duke and, hence, his feelings got in the way, which brings negativity in his mind.
It is the second time around and you are under the impression that you know more. Yes, we agree that experience counts and one learns from the mistakes but marrying again is not as easy as it sounds. And if it's the divorced man you have planned to say 'I do' to, it's again ridden with intricacies and hurdles. So, before you get back on the horse, let's help you with some of the very crucial ground work for your potential partner. You are ready but is it the right time?

Hello, Harry. How are you? I hope you had a magnificent Sunday. Thank you for your sweet, lovely messages, the flowers, and the hearts; I just love them, and, as always, make me feel so wonderful, and more and more fond of you. I want to thank you too for being so caring and worried about my health, but, don't be; I'm feeling well, they are treating me so nicely, I've been taking medication for my problem, to relax and to sleep, but, the only thing I can't do is to sleep the total of hours they want me to.
