For this assignment, write a 4-5 page essay that presents an original interpretation of one of the readings on
the syllabus(I chose "Porphyria’s Lover by Robert Browning"). Use any combination of the literary terms we
have discussed (ESP. genre, plot, point of view) to analyze the work and explain how these formal aspects
contribute to the meaning or influence the reader's perception. Remember that it serves no purpose to merely
point out metaphors, first-person narration, or other devices without showing how these elements contribute to
the meaning--go beyond simply identifying these aspects and interpret the work as a whole. Be sure to refer to
specific passages to support your interpretation.
