The Duke

The Duke is terrible and everyone should hate the Duke and if someone tells you that he is their favorite character then you should definitely ask them what is wrong with them. He is an absolutely terrible person who does whatever he has to do to make himself happy. Even if that means ruining other people’s lives.

He literally bought a woman so that she would love him and when she died because of a disease that was out of everyone’s control, he ruined the Moulin Rouge. Honestly, what kind of person is that much of a monster?

There isn’t a redeemable thing about him. He is terrible and he just continues to make everyone’s lives more miserable by being in them. And he thinks that he is right about everything, which makes it even worse. If he at least knew he was wrong at times, maybe he’d be a bit better but he doesn’t. He thinks that he is right and everyone else is out to hurt him.

Again, who thinks like that? So, he ruins everything simply because he is a selfish man who wants someone to love him despite the fact that they don’t. The Duke is terrible. Hate the Duke.
