. Browning was interested in a wide variety of subjects like art. crime, love, philosophy, and other things. But he was mainly preoccupied with psycho-analysis or "soul-dissection" of his character. At the beginning of his poetic career, he declared, "my stress lay on the incidents in the development of the soul, little else is wrath study” this objective guides him in writing almost all of his poetry.
