My Last Duchess

Hi,
I'm from England, and I need to write an essay (coursework) comparing three speakers in the poems by Robert Browning: Porphyria's lover, my Last Duchess and the laboratory. I'm fine with comparing Porphyria's lover and my Last Duchess, but I'm having trouble finding themes/ language devives, etc to talk about when comparing my last duchess and the laboratory. I was thinking of saying that both the speakers were idealistic in that the duke in my last duchess has 'killed' the duchess because he wasn't satisfied with her actions... and in the laboratory- she wants to kill all those who seems to have spoken/ had contact with this man she's in love with.... I hope that's right.. but please could you help me because i just can't think of anything to say in my essay.
Thanks

The three poems all have similarities between themselves, as they are all involved with the theme of violent. Also, the poets have used many different language devices with a well-planned structure to make the poem more appealing to the reader. This is effective, because it makes the reader feels that it's different from the other poems.
