    Porphyria’s Lover Speaker Point of View Who is the speaker‚ can she or he read minds‚ and‚ more importantly‚ can we trust her or him? The speaker of "Porphyria’s Lover" sounds awfully straightforward. His tone is incredibly reasonable‚ which makes it even creepier considering he’s describing horrific things (such as strangling his girlfriend and cuddling with the corpse). He even makes it sound as though he was doing her a favour – he calls it "her darling one wish" (line 57). It’s hard to tell

    Dr. Amy Robinson Survey of British Literature‚ 1780-1900 November 7‚ 2011 Deadly Love Porphyria’s Lover by Robert Browning is surprising. The poem speaks through the mind of a man who kills his loverPorphyria by strangling her with her own hair. Although my initial reaction to this poem was that the killer was insane and evil‚ a second reading revealed another meaning. Porphyria’s lover killed her‚ not out of malice but out of love for her. Throughout the poem‚ there are references to

    Examine the treatment of women in Porphyria’s lover It would be easy to assume that women in Victorian England were treated badly. However‚ “Porphyria’s lover” suggests that his idea springs from society’s control of women. At the start of the poem‚ Porphyria has freedom and control but as the piece progresses‚ it is clear that this freedom and control is curtailed by her lover who contains and incarcerates her through death. As a result it can be argued that Browning’s purpose was to warn women

    Alan Anderson Porphyria The disorder I chose to do is called Porphyria. It can cause red bloches on the skin. It can also severely affect the nervous system.

    Porphyria’s Lover is a typical dramatic monologue by Browning‚ where we get an insight into the narrator’s thoughts. In the poem‚ we get an insight into the thoughts of a man who kills his love interest out of jealousy: “Nor could to-night’s gay feast restrain.” This gives the impression of Porphyria living a very high status life‚ just coming from a party‚ and the narrator being her love interest that she is sneaking away from her life to see. On the other hand‚ Porphyria’s death could have been
