This research article offers a broad and multidimensional analysis of Robert Browning's dramatic monologue life in one love, emphasizing its psychological depth, thematic intensity, and literary innovation. Located within the broad Victorian context, the poem examines the acute and obsessive feelings of a speaker, whose love remains unaffected. Planning the mixed-method approach, this study integrates qualitative literary analysis with descriptive statistical techniques to assess the frequency and emphasis of major thematic elements, including no love, passion, penis mobility, and emotional volatility. The research design combines graphical visualization and quantitative scoring of thematic elements on a scale of 1 to 10, combining close text, psychoanalytic interpretation, and thematic coding. This method features the identification of major emotional and structural patterns within the text.
Conclusions suggest that the poem of browning performs a simple depiction of romantic disappointment; Instead, it forms a sophisticated psychological exploration of how persistent craving and emotional passion purpose can distort reality and affect self-concept. Through the dramatic monologue form, browning internal, forces readers to evaluate the dispersion of the speaker and explain the psychological disintegration that comes out. This complex narrative structure underlines the ability of the poem to engage readers into an active process of meaning-making, deepening its emotional and intellectual effects.
In the end, this study confirms browning not only as a psychological poetry but also proves that life in one love still sells due to its honesty.
