Subjugation of Women in Robert Browning’s Selected Poems

A. Chandra Bose, Ph.D.

Abstract

This paper aims at providing an evidence of subjugation of women in the England of the Victorian period. Many writers have been exposing mistreatment of women through their writings from the past to the present day. Robert Browning is one among those who highlights the scenario of killing women for possessive passions and social status. It is found that the two poems of Robert Browning “My Last Duchess” and “Prophyria’s Lover” had given similar message to the reader. The poet portrays how two innocent women are killed and strangled by two different men in order to control the women. It is a miserable fact that the idea of subjugation of women still continues in this world.

Browning – A Victorian Poet, Representing Real Nature of Men and Women

Robert Browning is one the greatest poets of the Victorian era. He employs dramatic monologue as a powerful tool to explain some historical happenings and also present ordinary things in a dramatic way.
