Porphyria Lover vs. My Last Duchess by Daniel Vila

poems, My Last Duchess and Porphyria? s Lover, are
uncanny, as they can be compared in theme, plot,
style, language, perspective and various other
ways. The two poems make the same statement

relationship with women. In both poems, the male
narrator looks like a jesus, overbearing tyrant,
and the woman a passive victim of circumstance.
Neither poem makes men...

World Of Fantasy Branch To Branch Speaker

Reality vs. Fantasy Birches by Robert Frost is a
nostalgic poem filled with fond memories and
fantasies, yet at the same time the speaker
reveals his longing to escape. Frost sets up a
conversation with himself using dialogue between

nostalgic self. At first the poem seems to be just
