Lady Chatterley's Lover, written by DH. Lawrence was first published in 1928. The novel follows around the protagonist of the story, Lady Constance Chatterley. The story is about how this woman, who is trapped in a loveless and almost sterile marriage, finds emotional and physical love with the gameskeeper of her husband's estate.

Both stories revolve around a man who feels that he is unappreciated, or perhaps unloved, by his wife, thus driving them to murder their spouse. The men of Robert Browning’s poems Last Duchess and Porphyria’s Lover both present similar thought processes, and similar, however differing, actions.
