The unnamed Bishop begins with disappointing comments about his opponent Gandalf and then continues. According to him, Gandalf has long been a source of jealousy. He was also a devout person who interfered with the easy social life of the bishop and his spiritual life. Gandalf adored him because the bishop was once in love with a lovely lady. He entered the religious world following her death, where he was not given a proper name or recognition. According to him, the greatest cause of unhappiness in his life is Gandalf. As the storey develops, we as readers are more conscious of its ironic life and religious character.
In general, religious persons are seen as poor because they have a great desire for material things. The quest for virginity and eternity is the main objective of their life. Consequently, religious individuals have a high "will strength" level and the so-called material wealth and fame do not attract them. Their ideas form the basis of their strong identity. The Bishop's example proved to be precisely the reverse of the popular assumption. He entered the realm of religion not because he had a spiritual desire but because of a sad connection with a beautiful lady. Rather than contributing to its enrichment, he has taken the action of depriving his saints/sons of building a complex memorial at the Church of Saint Praxed.
It is a sacred place where monuments are erected for great religious leaders with bright minds and noble hearts. He is not a great religious or a suitable fit for the Saint Praxed Church. However, he orders his sons, after his death, to construct an amazing monument that they accomplish immediately. The tone of such a voice is caustic. He is a religious virtue related to lapis lazuli gemstone. The bishop stuck and took the lapis lazuli in an underground way while the church was on fire. The precious stone, according to him, was the size of the Jew's head, with its neck cut off at the base. It has a blue colour, similar to the colour of the vein that passes through the breast of the Virgin. After his death, the Bishop instructed his sons to excavate the field, return it, and place it in a monument between his legs that was erected to his honour. He asks to put it between his knees so that his former opponent, Gandalf, was compelled to look at his feet.
It is also ironic since Bishop's great interest in materialists reflects his irony in life. He was motivated by his religious convictions to construct the resort known as "Frascati Ville." He persuades his sons in case of his passage to inherit the property. However, you must ensure that his objective is achieved. He persuades them that, via his honey tomb, he has exchanged good for all the kindness of his kids. Due to the absence of audience reaction, the speaker is not just uncomfortable, but also suspenseful. He threatens them and says that he will reveal the location of his land to the Pope if they do not cooperate. He leads listeners to return to the head of the line and act in line with his real vision. In this paragraph, we readers are not told whether or not they must follow the Bishop. The million-dollar question, though, is if his ambitions can become a reality or not. Browning thus shows the true character of a Bishop via his words. Since the poem incorporates all the essential features of a dramatic monologue, it may be regarded as an example in itself of dramatic monologue.
Robert Browning is known for his splendid theatre monologues, among his most recognised works. It is a type of poetry with many distinctive features, among which the most remarkable is the first dramatic setting. In a theatrical setting, a dramatic monologue develops like a dramatic play. A quick study of the poem shows that the event is who speaks and that the topic is what is debated. Second, there is a bodily presence of both the speaker and the listener: poetry is presented as a type of conversation in a dramatic monologue. Although we know that a listener is there throughout the poem, they don't talk. As the poem continues, the speaker's real identity becomes evident. Three times there's irony; irony encapsulates all theatrical monologues via the employment of figurative techniques. The dramatic monologue acts as a vehicle for the narrative's growth that allows readers to understand what its reality is. In this abyss, Irony may be observed. Last but not least, the speaker in the dramatic monologue by presenting powerful feelings and emotions pushes himself up to the limit and reveals facts via passionate expression. The poem openly conveys the emotions that were concealed until this point. Browning's "The Bishop Orders his tomb in the Church of Saint Praxed" represents his dramatic monologue since it contains all the features that differentiate a single monologue from a dramatic one.
