How does the speaker use nature to present symbols in porphyria sliver and I think of thee?
The author of the poem describes the narrators emotions in the poem in his use of hidden metaphors that are describing how he feels and how he is concerned about how porphyria had not yet arrived and was showing now clear Sign of returning to him yet one quote that back up my point is “it tore the elm tops down in spite”.This metaphor may be the narrator showing how he felt and what he was doing in my opinion I believe that the quotes hidden meaning was that he was tearing things up in the house as he was so stressed that she had not returned.
Perhaps the man that strangles the girl with her long blonde hair, “in one long yellow string I wound three times around her pretty little throat”,may have done it as he felt that he did not want her to have her innocence taken from her.
annother would be that the man is perhaps insain then after relishing in his deed relised that what he has done is wrong and is now horrified by his actions.
Perhaps also there is the idea of in a way the rain may represent the tears from the man that loves her and then kills her also the howling wind may represent the anger and love that the man feels for her.

Where you hypothesise: ‘[he] may have done it as he felt that he did not want her to have her innocence taken from her.’ you must then provide us with evidence as to why you have formed this interpretation.
Despite this work that begins to show promise, you have not actually answered the question – How do the poets in Porphyria’s Lover and Sonnet 29 use nature to present symbols?
