In lines 14-35 how does Porphyria act towards her lover? How does her lover react?

Porphyria acts happy and caring to her lover. She caresses him and submitted herself.

But the lover could not reciprocate that love because as much as he realized her love for him and her dedication, he remained skeptical and overwhelmed with that love.

Explanation:

Robert Browning's "Porphyria's Lover," tells the tale of two lovers and the over-encompassing love that would lead one to kill the other. The speaker of the poem is the unknown lover who would kill his love, Porphyria, not because of anything wrong but because he loved her.

From lines 14 to 35, the speaker talks of how Porphyria had come to him despite the "wind and rain" of that night. She acts all lovey with him, giving herself to his happiness and trying to seduce him into responding back. The speaker reveals,

She put my arm about her waist,

And made her smooth white shoulder bare,

And all her yellow hair displaced,

And, stooping, made my cheek lie there,

And spread, o'er all, her yellow hair,

Murmuring how she loved me --

Through this act, the speaker knows she loves him. But in a sense of overwhelming desire and love, the lover will kill Porphyria to make sure she remains his forever.  

Happy and proud; at last I knew

Porphyria worshipped me; surprise

  Made my heart swell, and still it grew

  While I debated what to do.
