This opening really captured me, and the words Antonio is uses are very relatable in terms of injustice, inequality and the sadnesses people face.

I believe here, Ferdinand is asking/ telling Bosola to keep an eye on the Duchess, and offering him compensation. The language used here is also very based on imagery and metaphors which I enjoy

I feel this portrays the Duchess' fears of remarrying, love, heartbreak, and the judgement of her family.

I enjoy the theme of hope the Duchess in conveying, even through what her "loved ones" and family are telling her. There is a great sense of relatability when it comes to the topic of hope.

At first, I was having trouble with the language use, however when Antonio and the Duchess are speaking, I was able to follow along metaphorically, and I really enjoyed the use of language in this dialogue between the two: "Lunatic beyond all cure... your heart so dead a piece of flesh".
