News at Eleven: Robert Browning's two poems, "Porphyria's Lover" and

"My Last Duchess," have some striking similarities. Both feature men who seem mentally disturbed; Further, both of these men had relationships with "strong" women who, despite apparently loving them, they each ended up killing. And interestingly enough, both men seem to be much happier after they have committed these murders.
