Clues

  • 'in silence and tears' is seen in the second and final line. This reflects how he is in a cycle of despair as he cannot move past it. (8, 9)
  • A man is in his cottage and Porphyria, his lover comes and sits next to him but he ignores her while she's flirting. Then he decides she loves and belongs to him and wants to preserve the moment so he strangles her with her own hair. (10, 5)
  • all the promises that have been made were broken (4, 4, 3, 3, 6)
  • Consistent ABABCDCD rhyme scheme. Highlights certain words such as 'tears/cold/kiss/broken/shame'. Effect of fate and certainty. Their relationship was always doomed. (5, 6)
  • Lord Byron (4, 2, 3, 6)
  • Percy Bysshe Shelley. 'Philosophy' - a way of thinking or a set of beliefs. 'Love's' implying the speaker feels there is only one way to express love; through physical intimacy. (5, 10)
  • rhetorical question reflects need for closure on their relationship. He is unsure of how to greet her as things were never definite. (3, 6, 1, 5, 4)
  • Rhetorical questions make the argument seem unequivocal. 'I' in 'thine': he wants to be part of her (3, 3, 1, 4, 5)
  • The speaker argues from the general (nature) to the specific (his relationship) (3, 2, 7)
  • This shows they weren't properly in love with each other. It's clear the narrator was deeply affected by their parting, so he could be accusing his lover for only being half in love with him. (4, 6, 7)
