 Studying Porphyria's Lover Barobit Browning, here's how you can analyse this poem. The poem is written in one long stanza meaning its structure is a stanza that's a dramatic monologue. The words rain and tonight are pathetic fallacy and what this does is it sets a dark mood. Also the words silent spite and vex belongs a semantic field of anger showing the speaker is probably feeling a little bit jealous. The sibilance and she-shut shows that Porphyria has a lot of control. Porphyria speaks to her lover in this line and called me. Now this Cesura is emphasising that the lover is angry because he didn't reply. The onomatopoeia murmuring shows she is trying to seduce the speaker. The speaker uses Cesura and Anjouma Montere to show that he's really happy he now has Porphyria's confirmation that she loves him. The rhyming couplet in Wound and Around is horrifying as we learn that he strangles her. In this line the alliteration of the plosive B shows that the speaker is happy he can now control her after killing her. This exclamatory sentence at the end shows he is now resting with her dead body.
