YOLO

Porphyrias Lover

It is a Very dramatic love poem. At the start we see that the speaker lives in a cottage, and out from the storm poryphyria comes in to comfort him. She offers her "bare soldier" as a sexual implication. She shows her complete lust for him and that her love is like worship towards him. In the end he wishes to preserve this moment, and does not want anyone to corrupt her and strangles her with her own hair. Which could be seen as her beauty is what killed her. The speaker of "Porphyria's Lover" sounds awfully straightforward. His tone is incredibly reasonable, which makes it even creepier considering he's describing horrific things (such as strangling his girlfriend and cuddling with the corpse). He even makes it sound as though he was doing her a favour – he calls it "her darling one wish" There is a terrible storm commencing, which could show what is about to happen. The poem is very graphic with and dramatic with the affair, murder, and then necrophillia, showing the speakers madness. 

In the Sonnet by Shakespeare it uses emotive language, comparing every feature to amazing objects such as "Your eyes are like the sun". In comparison to Poryphyrias lover, they both talk about how beautiful there partner is, but shakespeare is more pleading to be with this person, and wants to spend his life time with her. However in Porphrias lover it is a much more darker poem of love, saying although she is beautiful, he wants to preserve her beauty, and instead of loving her all the time, he thinks by killing her its a deep sign of his love for her. Really trying to make her life this beautiful jewel.
