Porphyria's Lover (Unabridged) A Victorian dramatic monologue of twisted love, murder, and abnormal psychology, laced with irony, dark humor, and eerie rhyme【電子書籍】[ Robert Browning ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This carefully crafted ebook: "Porphyria's Lover (Unabridged)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Porphyria's Lover" is Browning's first ever short dramatic monologue, and also the first of his poems to examine abnormal psychology. In the poem, a man strangles his lover - Porphyria - with her hair. Porphyria's lover then talks of the corpse's blue eyes, golden hair, and describes the feeling of perfect happiness the murder gives him. Although he winds her hair around her throat 3 times to throttle her, the woman never cries out. The poem uses a somewhat unusual rhyme scheme: A,B,A,B,B, the final repetition bringing each stanza to a heavy rest. Robert Browning (1812-1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, and in particular the dramatic monologue, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. His poems are known for their irony, characterization, dark humor, social commentary, historical settings, and challenging vocabulary and syntax. The speakers in his poems are often musicians or painters whose work functions as a metaphor for poetry.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

Brecht and the Writer's Workshop Fatzer and Other Dramatic Projects【電子書籍】[ Bertolt Brecht ]
