What does the mention of “Neptune taming a seahorse” at the end symbolize?

AHis connection to the ocean and its creatures

BHis belief in dominance and control

CThe beauty and grace of nature

DHis desire for peace and harmony

Answer:

B. His belief in dominance and control

Read Explanation:

  • Neptune (the Roman god of the sea) represents power and authority, much like the Duke himself.

  • Taming the seahorse mirrors the Duke’s treatment of his wife—he believes women (like the seahorse) should be controlled and subdued.

  • The mention of an artwork reinforces the Duke’s obsession with possession, as he treats both the sculpture and his late wife’s portrait as objects he owns.
