the drugs of choice for the characters. The focus

thought to be very intelligent and sensitive. The
poets of this time were called the younger
Romanticists. The older Romanticists no longer
supported radical causes or championed the
oppressed. The younger Romanticists poets quickly

justice (Reed, xxvi). Three prime examples of such

that permeates the Middle East region. This has
been a popular topic that has been extensively
covered in both media and literature. This is a
topic that has brought the media much criticism
for covering the Middle East in such a way that
holds uneducated readers confused with the idea
that this area is only associated with terrorism.

the Victorian period, is famous especially for his

him. One conflict seen throughout Brownings poetry
is one of spirituality. His poetry forms a
spiritual timeline; it reveals his spiritual
influences and opinions. It formed his own Bible
