The Anchor's Reading of the Duke
Captions available
The idea
The anchor's chapter states that the Duke's speech reveals his character, that he believes on the basis of no evidence that his Duchess flirted, and that he has her executed. It concludes he is pathologically jealous, a product of deep-seated insecurities. That is the anchor's reading, reported as such.
In practice
The anchor's reading, attributed.
Where people slip
