Love is presented in porphyrias lover by using personification to describe his feelings for example “too weak , for all her Hearts endeavour, to set its struggling passion free”. This tells us how her passion struggles which gives the impression that she is trying not to love but the passion she has it struggling to come out which then gives us the impression that her love is uncontrollable
My interpretation of the he poem Porphyrias lover is that there is a man who is ill and has a sickness called porphyria which is a mental illness.He imagines his illness as a woman who loves him and gives herself to him and as porphyria try’s to control him he thinks for a while and then decides to kill porphyria. Earlier in the poem it explained porphyrias love for him by her action and then says “and made her smooth white shoulder bare and her yellow hair displaced, and stooping, made my cheek lie there” this showed that she would protect him so then at the end of the poem when he killed porphyria he done the same thing as if to mock her and then layed all night with her . This is a way of saying that he is rid of the illness. The poem continues to fascinate readers because of the genre , the fact that the poem is grusem and involves someone else’s getting hurt draws the reader I’m to want to find out Wat will happen next. It also gives a sense of suspense and the indroduction actravts the reader straight away just but describing the setting as a dark place where bad things happen. These sort of thing accuracy readers and keeps them interested
I think porphyria was killed because her lover didn’t Realy like her or think she was beautiful and because everything was happening so fast he panict and decided the bet way to get out of his situation Was to murder her. I think this because of where he says “A sudden thought of one so pale for lover of her, and all in vain: so, she was come through wind and rain”. As I said before this suggest that she was unattractive and was very forceful towards her lover. He uses the word pale as an adjective to describe her presents .
In this paragraph Shelly uses personification and hyperbole to give a strong effect to what he is saying aswell as making it slightly sarcastic and have a sense of humor . He uses personification where he says that the mountains actually “kiss the heavens and the sunlight clasps the earth” mountains don’t actually kiss the heavens but because he uses natural elements to describe the actions of what he would like to do to the girl , it has a strong effect of what and how the girl might think and some what even change the way she thinks completely he uses hyperbole when he talks about them not being together is almost unnatural because all these other natural elements are together so why can’t they be. Them not being together isn’t unnatural but it’s sort of a sarcastic joke which is a way of loring her in . The fact that he uses personification and hyperbole in this poem changes the way the girl original throughly about him
