Erin Brewton Rosemary Royston ENGL 2601 21 October 2012 Mood in Porphyria’s Lover Robert Browning uses powerful moments of personification and imagery that linger in a reader’s mind.

Given the topic of the piece‚ the reaction to find the piece haunting only seems natural. But Browning uses some very interesting

"The Demon Lover” is a confusing short story because it can be interpreted in different ways. Some people might consider it a ghost story.

Of course‚ this makes the monologue of Porphyria’s lover all the more dramatic. In keeping with the most important quality of dramatic monologues‚ the character of Porphyria’s lover is adequately

Michelle Padgett English 102 Ms. Riggs 3 March 2013 Critical Analysis of “Porphyria’s Lover” by Robert Browning Robert Browning wrote “Porphyria’s Lover” in the 1830s.
