Porphyria’s lover critical appreciation

“porphyrias lover is a poem by rbert brownibng which ws first published as “porphyria” in the january1836.“Porphyria's Lover" was quite subversive for its time (and to an extent, still is) but prose writers of Browning's Victorian England were also dabbling in Gothic literature and horror. This is one of many examples where Browning shared more with his contemporary prose writers than with his contemporary poets. The poem is a dramatic monologue which means the speaker addresses someone and his words and thoughts indicate to the reader his character and/or state of mind.

The narrator of "Porphyria's Lover" is a man who has murdered his lover, Porphyria. He begins by describing the tumultuous কোলাহলপূর্ণ weather of the night that has just passed. It has been rainy and windy, and the weather has put the speaker in a melancholy mood as he waits in his remote cabin for Porphyria to arrive.

Finally Porphyria comes to meet her lover in a stormy weather .As she approaches her lover .she find quite different, neither her lover response her nor he tries to enquire about her .Rather he manages to kill her by strangling her .Even though Porphyria loves her lover, she worshiped him because he kills her out of jealousy he does not wants her to become someone’s other.

He takes her not as lover but as a possession and he wants to posses her. In order to guaranteed that he doesn’t become some ones else. He kills her at last. He comes it a crime by killing her and violent setting of the nation is about parallel with the violent inside the men’s heart. His a statement reveals that “yet god has no said a word”. this statement shows that the respond of society toward the crime and criminals. The portion comes it by brutal crime by killing his lover. But society has no concern about it. The society excuses the criminal. In this way by the use of dramatic monologue, Robert Browning shown the distorted personality of the male of Victorian period

The overarching message of the poem is thus that humans are full of contradictions. We are drawn to both the things we love and the things we hate, and we are eminently capable of rationalizing either choice.

Compare and contrast dickens and Thackeray:

Charles Dickens: one of the most prominent and influential novelists of the Victorian age, in fact the most popular of all English novelist so far. Some of his great novels are Pickwick Papers, Great Expectation and Bleak house in which his comic view of life, social criticism and power of storytelling are clearly reflected. Dickens seems to see things differently in an amusing and exaggerated way. As a novelist, Dickens is a social chronicler .he is found to have introduced social novels in a much bounder sense. His novels are full of pathos and there are many passages of the extravagant sentiments. His themes chiefly focus on mans thoughts, imaginations, affections and religious instincts. In spite of pain, dirt and sin with which his novels are full, they leave an impression and the reader of the firm optimism and an exaggerate temper of Dickens. All of his characters comes out of the pit of suffering and distress as better man, uncontaminated purer than before. Dic...
