There are many similarities between all of Browning’s poems
the main one in my view is probably the many references to god in his poems for
example the last stanza of the patriot and the last sentence of Porphyria’s
lover. I think there is a significance in the mention of god at the very end of
each poem as it could mean that in the end – god is the end.
Another similarity between Browning’s poems could be the
fact that they are all dramatic monologues except for the Pied Piper of
Hamelin, also many of his poems also use a traditional rhyming scheme and rhythm
this I think shows that he writes about things that are relevant to his time
and is not an uncommon site in his day and age, this can then be related to the
idea that Browning may of written his poems to make a jab at society without
doing it in a way that would cause offense.
The final similarity that I’ve found is that all of his poems
seems to have a hidden meaning to them which is normally most symbolic in the
title.
Good links. Do you think he has a moral in his poems?
