Love and Death
Have you ever heard the expression never judge a book by the cover?
Well the same could be
said about poems and their titles. ?Porphyria?s Lover? by Robert Browning and ?To My Dear and
Loving Husband? by Anne Bradstreet both sound like love poems, but one of them will
completely shock you.
?Porphyria?s Lover? by Robert Browning is a dramatic monologue, which is a poem that
presents a fictional speech given by a speaker that is not the poet and has an implied listener.
In
?Porphyria?s Lover?, the speaker lives in the country in a cottage.
There is a storm going on
outside and a young lady named Porphyria has come to see him.
She builds a fire in the fireplace
to brighten and cheer the place up.
After taking her wet coat and hat off, she goes and sits down
by him.
She calls his name but he does not reply, so she puts his head on her bare shoulder.
The
speaker feels as though Porphyria is ?too weak, for all her hearts endeavor? (Browning 520) and
could never overcome her pride to love someone like him.
She then begins to tell him that she
loves him and has traveled through this really bad storm just to see him.
He looks into her eyes
and realizes that in this moment she worships him.
Wanting to freeze time and keep this moment
forever, he then strangles her with her own hair.
After killing her, he props her body up next to
him and they sit together the rest of the night.
At the end of the poem, he implies that he will not
be punished because ?God has not said a word? (Browning 521).

?To My Dear and Loving Husband? by Anne Bradstreet is a love poem about a woman trying
to express her love for her husband.
The wife feels that she and her husband are very connected
and she is extremely happy with him.
She loves him more than ?Mines of gold? and ?all the
riches that the East doth hold? (Bradstreet 593).
She basically loves him more than anything and
wants to be with him forever, ?that when we live no more, we may live ever? (Bradstreet 593),
even after death.
Both of these poems have a speaker expressing their thoughts, but the two speakers are
completely opposite kinds of people.
The speaker in ?Porphyria?s Love? is a psychopath that
kills his girlfriend by strangling her with her own hair and then sits and admires her dead body
for the rest of the night. The tone of the speaker is calm and straightforward which helps to add
to the effect of the poem.
The fact that he thinks he has done nothing wrong makes the poem
even more horrific.
The speaker in ?To My Dear and Loving Husband? is a woman that completely loves her
husband.
She wants to express to the rest of the world just how much she loves him.
The
speaker could possibly be Bradstreet herself.
The tone of this speaker is completely opposite of
the speaker in ?Porphyria?s Lover?. ?To My Dear and Loving Husband has a very emotional tone
filled with love and happiness. The wife in this poem would never harm her husband in any way.
?Porphyria?s Lover? has an iambic tetrameter that is fairly regular.
Occasionally, Browning
changes the meter to help make his point.
For example, the line ?I listened with heart fit to
break? breaks the regularity of the meter to help represent the speaker?s broken heart.
The
poem?s rhyme is regular but asymmetrical with a pattern of ABABB, CDCDD, EFEFF, ect.
The
unbalanced rhyme scheme could be a representation of the speaker?s unbalanced mind.
