Innocence of My Last Duchess and Porphyria.
Porphyria and My Last Duchess not being innocent to their 19th century society.
Innocence of Peter Grimeʼs boy slaves.
Peter Grimes not being innocent but being a victim of society.
Ballad of Reading Gaol – the criminals being the not so innocent victims.
For centuries, critics have discussed the portrayal of victims in crime fiction where certain
interpretations suggest that crimes are more horrific when the victims are ‘always innocentʼ,
while others state that a combination of innocence and complicity in the crime makes it more

this he unintentionally presents the Duchess as a kind and non-shallow woman in juxtaposition
to himself who cares only about power struggles and reputation. It depicts the poems greatest
achievement which is the “decline of an ego through language most subtle and auditous” (De
Vane). The description of the Duchess who found simple pleasure in even the “dropping of the
