Porphyria's Lover - Robert Browning

Created by

Porphyria's unnamed lover kills her. We hear him rationalize the deed but a comprehensive examination of the poem illustrates just how Browning communicated the psyche of the individual.

This resource explores the rhyme, meter and form in a comprehensive manner showing how Browning communicated not just through what was said but how it was said; t
