The write argues that Webster uses these themes to emphasize his points concerning the structure of society during this era, as well as the worldview of those opposing the Duchess who see her actions as a "disease" against society. However, Webster makes it clear that it is the brothers who constitute a "poison" and "disease" in the societal framework, not the strong-willed Duchess. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
