Read these lines from Robert Browning's "My last Duchess"

"A heart - how shall I say?- too soon made glad,

Too easily impressed; she liked whate'er,

She looked on, and her looks went everywhere"

How is the poems speaker describing it's subject?

-as loving and fearful

-as flirtatious and naive

-as beloved and flawless

-as beautiful and cunning

Verified Answer :

I understand the phrase "her looks went everywhere" to say that she looked at everyone- this would mean that she flirted with everyone.

Also, she seems to be naive as everything pleases her, everything makes her happy

So the correct answer is: "flirtatious and naive"
