In Porphyria's Lover, we see a host of things. Madness, Dramatic Monulgue, and Seperate Spheres. This poem was told by the poetic speaker and not the author. What seems to be a lust over a women quickly becomes more than that. The poetic speaker begins to objectify Porphyria as he describes the details of her body. The poetic speaker developes an obsession with Porphyria. This obsession would soom become deadly and seems as if it is what the poetic speaker wanted all along.
