Saul is a book written by Robert Browning, which tells the story of King Saul from the Old Testament. The book is written in the form of a dramatic monologue, where Saul himself is the speaker. The story begins with Saul's rise to power as the first king of Israel and his early successes in battle. However, as time goes on, Saul's mental and emotional state begins to deteriorate, and he becomes increasingly paranoid and jealous of David, who he sees as a threat to his throne.Throughout the book, Saul grapples with his own inner demons, including his fear of losing power and his relationship with God. The story culminates in Saul's final battle against the Philistines, where he is mortally wounded and takes his own life rather than being captured by the enemy.Browning's portrayal of Saul is complex and nuanced, showing the king as a flawed and troubled human being rather than a one-dimensional villain. The book is a powerful exploration of themes such as power, jealousy, and the human condition, and is widely regarded as one of Browning's masterpieces.1890. English poet and husband to Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Saul is his dramatic lyrics.
