Robert browning

Browning show passion is something to be feared and can be consuming consuming. Although the narrator kills porphyria seemingly without reason, his mood is represented through the weather “it tour the elms tops down for spite and did it’s best to vex the lake” The opening of the poem helps illustrate the narrators anger, the techniques is called pathetic fallacy, as it describe the weather with word that you associate with bad temper. Not only do i think that browning wants to show the narrators dark outlook but i belive that he also is trying to show that porphyria her self angers the narrator, although this does not justify her death it does give use a reason, it also show a reason why he hates porphyria to begin with.

further through the monologue porphyria’s lover describes porphyria describes her love as something that she cannot control. this is a sign of love that is just as extreme as his potential hate
