Porphyria's Lover (Robert Browning)

This story like others written by Browning have that mystery that surrounds them and give us an unexpected ending. Especially with this, we can see how Porphyria is madly in love with the reader, to the point that it is almost adoration. Then, the reader thinks how nice it is to be adored and begins to think what would happen if his girlfriend stopped loving him that way and comes to the conclusion that the best thing is to kill her and that her life ends in that way loving him madly. And, he convinced himself that she did not feel pain. Then, as with "My Last Duchess", the tragedy is unexpected but it happened. 


"That moment she was mine, mine, fair,
Perfectly pure and good: I found 
A thing to do, and all her hair
In one long yellow string I wound
Tree times her little throat around, 
And strangled her. No pain felt she;
I am quite sure she felt no pain."
