In 1835, Browning published a long poem "paracel Sass", which wrote a tragic story of a Swiss doctor who devoted himself to medicine despite religious persecution in the Middle Ages. Browning liked to draw materials from ancient or foreign historical events, and later he wrote a favorite of Charles I who was executed ("Strafford", 1837) and an 18th-century German organist ("Ebert Fregley"). He wrote six poetic dramas: Pippa Passed by, King Victor and King Charles, The Return of the Druze, The Stain on the Heralds, etc., which were included in the book Bells and Pomegranates. His poetic dramas don't pay attention to the plot, but focus on digging, analyzing the behavioral motives of the characters and describing the actions in the characters, rather than the characters in the actions, such as Pippa Passed by. She envies the comfort of the rich family, but in the rich family, a tragedy is about to happen. Four unrelated families have different reactions when they hear her singing. Pippa doesn't know that her singing has brought the effect of avoiding evil and promoting good. Some poems in Drama Lyrics and Drama Romans in the book have successfully used the technique of dramatic monologue.
In the famous My Late Duchess, the protagonist Duke introduced them to the guests. In his intermittent conversation, the reader learned about his wife's love with the painter and his history of killing his wife out of jealousy. The poet asked the narrator of the poem to dissect his heart, so that the reader, the character and the author were in a proper position. The tone of the monologue fluctuated with the existence of the imaginary listener, and the reader reasoned and imagined from the dramatic monologue of the character. Explore the hidden author's point of view.
The important poetry anthology Men and Women published in p>1855 marked the maturity of Browning's monologue in drama. The 5l poems were diverse in subject matter and poetic style. In 1864, he published a poetry anthology Dramatic Characters, which allowed many characters to disclose their inner feelings, life experiences and opinions to readers. He wrote about the evil in real life, but he was full of confidence in life and advised the world to be optimistic. At the end of his final collection of poems, Self-Collection, he wrote: He never turns back but puts his chest forward,/He never doubts that the dark clouds will dissipate,/He never thinks, even if we are defeated by right or won by wrong./He still thinks that we should fall down to start again, fight again when we are defeated, and/Sleep to wake up.
The narrative poem Ring and Book (1868-1869) is Brown. According to a murder case in Rome at the end of 17th century, the old Earl of Guidi coveted the property of Pompilia, a civilian girl, to marry her. Pompilia's adoptive parents found that the earl's family had declined and recovered their property. In retaliation for Guidi's mistreatment of his wife, Pompilia fled with the help of young priest Caponsaki and was sent to a monastery by Guidi. Pompilia returned to her adoptive parents with her newborn son at Christmas and was killed by Guidi and his accomplices. The Pope upheld justice. Guidi was sentenced to death. The poet used the old yellow book, a murder trial record found in the old bookstall, as gold, mixed it with the alloy of imagination, and made a ring of works of art, which is the origin of the ring of titles and books. Browning showed the trial process of the case through monologues, and described his views on the case and the different personalities of the speakers from different positions. For example, three Roman citizens represented different attitudes of the Romans, and Guidi's monologues showed coldness and selfishness. An indomitable character.
Browning, a master of psychological description, accepted the influence of metaphysical poetry in the 17th century, expressed philosophical arguments with images, and liked to use unique metaphors. Some of his poems were rather contrite. His poetic titles were not as good as Tennyson's when he was alive, but contemporary critics regarded him as one of the pioneers of modern poetry, and contemporary poets such as T S Eliot, Pound and Frost all absorbed his dramatic monologues.
