How well do you think these conclusions address the title or question? Answering these questions should help you find out.

Do they use key words from the title or question?

Do they answer the question directly?

Can you work out the question or title just by reading the conclusion?

I am going to analyse two poems: "Porphyria's Lover" and "The Laboratory." I will be explaining the outline of the poem, how the characters are presented and some comparisons between the two poems.

"In conclusion, I would say that Robert Browning's characters are presented in a similar way. His poems are said to be "Dramatic Monologues" and I can agree with this term. His poems are very powerful and they leave an impression on you. The main message that I have learnt from the two poems is that love can cause death, especially when there is too much craving."

"Browning is a good storyteller but is he better as a poet?" Discuss merits of Browning's poetry and narratives in Porphyria's Lover and My Last Duchess

"Conclusion: In both of Browning's poems, My Last Duchess and Porphyria's Lover, we have a very clear story of what's going on, the story itself is interesting, and the way that he has turned them into poems is also very good, but I would say that he is better as a storyteller, not as a poet. If I had to choose one poem that I thought was more poetry and less storytelling, in my opinion it would have to be My Last Duchess, in Porphyria's Lover there is too much picture description, which you would get in a story when setting the scene. It is a very good poem, but it would probably be described as more of a story."

Compare my last duchess and Porhyria's lover considering in particular how the 2 central characters are presented.

"In conclusion, both characters in the poem have similar elements about them. They also have their differences. Both poems are dramatic monologues. This is when one speaker relates the entire poem as if it was another speaker presenting the speaker. They both carry a question of ambiguity. For example we are not certain whether the Duchess was flirtatious or whether Porphyria was proud. We are not told what exactly happens in both poems. Therefore, it is up to us to interpret what is happening in the two poems. Finally, any information, which we are given, comes from the narrator and this may not reliable. Rahul Bose"
