Love and hate are shown in different ways in Julius Caesar, and Browning dramatic monologues. Love leads to hate in all of them because the boundaries get broken such as in The Laboratory when both love and hate come together to create jealousy towards her lovers lover. In Julius Caesar the play is focused on love which is shown through friendship and through love of you country. In Porphyria’s love is abnormal and has an enticing hook for her lover. In the Spanish cloister there is a contrast between the love that brother Lawrence has for his flowers than for his God, and the hatred the speaker feels for him.

To me what I think is that love is shown such as in Porphyria‘s lover when Porphyria entices the man in the story when’ She put my arm about her waist, And made her smooth white shoulder bare, And her yellow hair displaced, And, Stooping, made my cheek lie there, And spread, o’er all, her yellow hair, murmuring how she loved me.’ This could also mean that she is trying to seduce him into her trance by making her shoulder bare and put his arm around her.

The speaker in Porphyria’s lover is trying to preserve the moment that he has” That moment she was mine, mine, fair, Perfectly pure and good.” and it is almost as if  she is trying to preserver her name “Porphyria” such as the marble Porphyry.  Porphyria is like the disease that can make you go mad and the disease cured by taking a antidote and the antidote is her getting strangled, and as it says “no pain felt she” as she got strangled, implying that he killed her out of love to save her through going pain. He granted her “her darling one wish” which was to be strangled.

 If you love someone enough you wouldn’t want to hurt them, but in this case Porphyria’s love is so intense that the speaker finds her passion overpowers him.  For the speaker, her love is like a multi-layered sweet that you have to unwrap to reveal its sweet treats: it is complex – addictive like a drug that can be good and damaging from one moment to the next, with her forcing him to love her. 

But in the story of ‘The laboratory ‘ when it says ‘He is with her, and they know that I know where they are.’ That shows me that she is paranoid and how it shows love and hate because this other woman might make her man un-loyal towards her so she is is the laboratory making a poison to kill her and get her man back from the other woman who she thinks is trying to seduce her man to take him away from her and keep him for herself. Shakespeare

 But in the story of Julius Caesar love is shown in ACT 3 SCENE 2 Brutus says’ As Caesar loved me, I weep for him for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was fortunate; as he was valiant I honor him, but he was ambitious so I slew him, there is tears for his joy.’ this shows how Brutus loves Caesar a lot so much he had to stop him from himself and from destruction. But hate is show when Portia eat hot coal which kills her self. In the story of The woman’s last word is about love and how we should appreciate things much more such as Be a God and hold me like a charm! Be as man and fold me with thine arm!’  this shows that the woman want to intermediate and wants the man to show affection towards her.In my opinion and Robert Browning have the same idea about love and hate in all of their poems and are trying to grab the reader’s attention and trying to get the to understand the meaning of the  poem and how the cliffhangers work well with the different person either is 1st, 2rd or 3rd person it will work as long as you can word it correctly. The story’s that both writers write intend on keeping the reader’s focus on the story and keep them reading the story.

 I think that what Robert Browning is trying to say is that love is stronger than hate and shown you should always look towards the better side of things and not to the darker, i think  that the way both poets plan their is very interesting and smart they do it in a way where you have to read on find out more on the whole story such as in Julius Caesar near the end a soldier is told by his honorable master to kill him and calm himself as Brutus a and early on in the story is say that ‘Julius Caesar’ is not just a name but a title which has a lot of sentimental value to the holder of whom possess the title of it.

Personally I think that Julius Caesar  is more of a eye catching book to read and it will grab the reader’s attention when they read the book make them want  to read more and more until the finish and maybe even want to read another book by William Shakespeare, but on the other hand Robert Browning is a good poem that will do the same thing as Julius Caesar will do to the reader.    

All the Browning poems are writing about love and they are all dramatic love (soliloquies) showing love from one point of view only and exploring the subjectivity of love and the extreme length it can take us to. In Julius Caesar love is also dramatised, and Shakespeare shows how when people are pushed into a corner love can become black and white, turning it into a life and death situation, where Caesar has to choose between his love of Caesar, and his love for his country.  The language can confuse people in this context because the subjective point of view means that that the reader or watcher realizes that love and hate are too complex and to easily categorise by the public who read the story’s that
