Through Medieval 31 October 2010 Song of Songs The question asked is if there are any problems with incorporating this book into the Bible. Ultimately to answer this question is not possible as the answer would be more a matter of opinion versus any actual fact. Religion‚ from my personal point of view‚ is that it is an individual’s opinion as to what their faith is. If religion or faith for that matter is an individual’s opinion then interpreting the Song of Songs and whether or not there are

Robert Browning’s poems ’Porphyria’s Lover’ and ’My Last Duchess’ are both about psychotic men who kill their lovers. However‚ the men differ in their motives as Porphyria’s murder could be considered to be done out of love whereas the dukes murder is one of jealousy.

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

Dante Gabriel Rossetti‚ Christina Rossetti‚ and Algernon Charles Swinburne. None‚ however‚ produced as many‚ or as striking‚ dramatic monologues as Robert Browning.

In The Song of Songs‚ the Shulamite and her lover are everything but what society conforms to. In their Hebrew society there are rules and restrictions pertaining to sexual relations and who is allowed to marry who. These rules are stated in the book of Deuteronomy‚ and if the citizens do not abide by the laws written in the book‚ the punishments were harsh and brutal.
