I have always been a fan of Browning but this week I read a new poem by him, and saw a different side of him! "The Last Duchess" was a much darker poem then others I have read. They were usually love poems, but this one is very different. I enjoyed reading it very much and it shows(to me) how talented Browning is! I went to wikipedia.org where the site had an audio clip-hearing the poem out loud is amazing! I can really hear the emotion of Browning.
I also enjoyed the poem by Matthew Arnold, The Forsaken Merman. I like the symbolism of the poem and what Arnold was writing between the lines! I felt this weeks reading had hints of modernism, it shows many people where thinking of change.
