How are the listeners different in the two Robert Browning poems and ldquoMy Last Duchess and and and ldquoLife in a Love and?

In "My Last Duchess," the listener is silent and passive, while in "Life in a Love," the listener is portrayed as more actively engaged in the speaker's emotions. The listener in "My Last Duchess" serves mainly as a receptacle for the speaker's thoughts, while the listener in "Life in a Love" is shown to have a reciprocal relationship with the speaker.
