Robert Browning quite as an exception to his contemporary Victorian poets opted for the psychoanalysis of his characters in his poems. His obsession of delving deeper into the psyche of his characters most often lent his poems with the essence and atmosphere of a story, to be more accurate – a short story. Browning’s readers still today hovers in the labyrinth created in his poetic world. He leaves his readers in such a juncture from where the readers time and again look back into the plot of his poems to find answers of the mysteries invested by the poet. Stylistically being much ahead of the contemporary trend of poetry, Browning’s poems could be labeled as futuristic. His artistic faculty in his poems can only be somewhat explained and understood if analyzed from the perspectives of a short story. Only then the crossroads where Browning leaves his readers in his poems can find a destination and provide a literary solution. One of the most extraordinary poems of Robert Browning is ‘Porphyria’s Lover’. This paper is an analysis of the poem from the perspective of the features of a short story. The plot and theme of the poem is quite obscure especially the ending of the poem leaves the readers with a feeling of puzzle and incompleteness. In order to explain this puzzle and incompleteness this study presents an elaborate discussion of the characteristics of short story. Then it discusses the storytelling ability of Browning in his poems and finally based on the findings presents an analysis of the poem to determine the matching characteristics of a short story in the poem. The study is completely based on a qualitative analysis.

Poststructuralist Theory

Abstract“Menelaiad,” an experimental short story from John Barth’s Lost in the Funhouse, consists of a series of multiply nested narratives in which each layer recursively generates the next, chronologically earlier one. The story presents narrative and memory as supplemental processes that look back in time to recover or replace a lost moment of presence and completion. Barth suggests these supplements are imperfect and self-defeating means of recapturing the past, however, as they further separate the narrator from his tale’s irretrievable origins. The story structures human subjectivity along similarly self-deferring lines, portraying the self not as an essential whole but as a sequence of narrative supplements organized around an absence that no supplement can redress. Paralleling contemporary developments in poststructuralist theory yet not inspired by, beholden to, or even necessarily aware of them, “Menelaiad” delivers an original illustration of the recursive and supplemental processes that, Barth believes, define and demarcate the human subject.

ResumenLa ciudad de Eibar, no es un lugar atractivo para extraños hoy en día, por lo que pocos son los que más allá de pasar de largo, se atreven a indagar en sus calles y en su pasado. Catalogada como la segunda ciudad más fea de España, lo que a primera vista puede parecer una localidad dura y austera, esconde en realidad una complejidad estratégica que hace casi imposible su declive, y que posibilita su eterno renacer. La motivación de esta investigación es la de conocer las entrañas de la ciudad a través del micro-relato histórico, viajando para ello a la época más agitada de su creación y consolidación; tiempo transcurrido entre la llegada del tren a la ciudad (1887) y el bombardeo de la Guerra Civil que acabó con ella (1937).Palabras claveResiliencia, micro-relato, espacio relacional, sistema en red, complejidad AbstractNowadays, Eibar city is not an attractive place for outsiders. Thus, there are very few people that instead of passing by, they venture to explore this city’s streets and past. Known as the second ugliest city of Spain. At the first glance, Eibar could look like a toughly austere place. However, it indeed masks the strategic complexity that makes almost impossible its decline whilst makes possible its everlasting rebirth. This research’s aim is discovering Eibar’s insides through historical short stories. In order to do that, it must be look back into the most unrested time of this city’s birth and consolidation: The time between the first train arrival (1887) and the Civil War bombing that devastated the city (1937).KeywordsResilience, short story, relational space, network system, complexity
