He describes her as if she was just another distant thing in the past‚ and disregards the painting of her as just another piece of artwork. The poem

“Porphyria’s Lover” and “My Last Duchess‚” are similar in that they both include murderers who coldly describe their evil deeds without any remorse. “Porphyria’s Lover”‚ begins with a lover describing the arrival of Porphyria‚ and then it quickly descends into a description of her murder at his hands.
