Today I would like to propose a film adaptation of the poem, “My Last Duchess” by Robert Browning. There have been very few adaptations of the work since its creation, and none within the film industry, so it would be a perfect, new medium for the story to be told. With the recent successes of films like Gone Girl and Nightcrawler, there is a clear public desire to witness passion, egotism, and sociopathology unravel; the narrator from “My Last Duchess” would provide a new archetype for these…

into the neck of their under gowns, and pulled over the head for warmth. Excavations of remains from the 8th to the 10th century show headscarves and veils worn by Viking women, with some styles possibly influenced by the Anglo and Celtic hosts of their settlements. Scarves feature widely in fashion from the Middle Ages.
