Similarities between Browning's poems.


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.
