Browning also writes the poem in clear stanzas and notably numbering them, this could be to show the different levels of the poem because it is a linear poem however I believe that the stanzas are meant to represent different chapters in the story which again links back to the subtitle of the poem. Browning uses a lot of rhyming, this I believe is to make the poem seem very child friendly this also creates an almost song like rhythm to the poem. ![]() ![]() The poem is written in third person, this is uncommon in Browning poems however it does make the poem seem more like a story, another point that makes you believe the piece is meant to be a child's story is the subtitle which happens to be 'A child's story'. The Pied Piper of Hamelin is about the classic children's fairytale portrayed in verse by Robert Browning. ![]()
