Both poems were written in the seventeenth century, though their subject matters differ. The Sonnet’s subject matter is intended to be an ode of love to a woman, saying how he will love her even when she is old. Contrastingly, To His Coy Mistress is more about lust. It is quite crude, with the poet […]
In my essay I’m going to compare two poems, which are ‘To His Coy Mistress’ and ‘My Last Duchess’. I am going to show their similarities and differences, but also the ways they are written and what makes them so powerful.For the first, both poems have something to do with women, in the poem: ‘To […]
Both of these poems are Metaphysical in many ways. The term ‘Metaphysical’ refers to matters that are literally ‘beyond the physical’ – this is things such as God, heaven and hell, the soul and the meaning of life. They looked past visible life to discover the concealed beauty beneath. Much of their work contained an […]
The poems To His Coy Mistress (1650-1652) and To His Mistress Going To Bed (1635) which was written by Andrew Marvell and John Donne respectively, was written about a man trying to seduce a woman.

In ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘To his Coy Mistress’ and ‘A Valediction Forbidding Mourning’, the strength of love is presented in many different ways. In ‘To his coy mistress’, we can tell that the strength of love present is relatively weak, and seems lustful and more physical. ‘A valediction forbidding mourning’ seems opposite to this […]
“The Rendezvous” is about a man who is waiting for his woman but she does not turn up, however he believes she will turn up. “To His Coy Mistress” is about a man who is trying to persuade woman to have sex with him, but she doesn’t want to. “Shall I compare thee to a […]
The poem is about Marvell’s desire to bed the woman to whom he’s writing the poem. He is talking to the woman and the piece is essentially persuasive writing, the writer is writing to prove a point and to get his on way. He’s breaking into the woman’s emotions and using it against her. He […]
Latin used different words for different types of love, for example when talking about sex, and love between a partner, the word they used was eros. They also have words for friendship, love of a family member and even a word for love of pleasure. However English only has one word for all types of […]
All of the above poems are mainly about love. They are about men and women about loving and caring for each other, but this isn’t always the case. Sometimes they don’t always get along well and could lead to break up in relationships. Love is a key aspect in many of people’s lives today in […]
In modern society there are different views on what love means: romantic, platonic, passionate and possessive love. The dictionary definition of love reads “to have great attachment to and affection for” and “to have passionate desire, longing feelings for” although every individual has a different notion of what love means, just as each of the […]
Before I answer the question, I need to look at what love is. Love can be defined in many ways. The Oxford English dictionary defines love as: ‘an intense feeling of deep affection’ or ‘a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone’. However love means something different to different people. To some people love can […]
Despite sharing the goal of seducing an unresponsive love interest, To His Coy Mistress and The Flea employ distinct approaches to accomplish their objectives. The focus of the speaker in To His Coy Mistress is mainly on time, along with the physical appearance of his mistress. On the other hand, the speaker in The Flea […]
A brilliant example of a light-hearted love poem is the Post 20th Century poem ‘I wanna be yours’, by John Cooper Clarke. We can tell straight away that it is light-hearted because of the way the title is written. This poem has no punctuation. This speeds up the poem and goes straight to the point […]
Over hundreds of years, the views of poets have varied. There has always been the desire for physical love, but also there has always been the traditional idea of purity. Nowadays though there are fewer ‘everlasting loving’ poems and more ‘Carpe Diem’ based. This is a sign of a change in the world and the […]
In “Valentine”, Duffy uses the onion to give an original and, in some ways, a shocking view of love: “Not a red rose or a satin heart” – she ignores the cliches and opts for something more dramatic and powerful. This is the first line of the poem, and it automatically gives a negative impression, […]
This poem is about someone experiencing love for the first time. “I ne’er was struck before that hour With love so sudden and so sweet.” The poet compares the face of the woman to a flower “Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower.” He describes how the feeling of love affects him physically “my […]
I am going to be comparing and contrasting Eileen McAuley’s ‘The Seduction’ and Andrew Marvell’s ‘To His Coy Mistress’. The reason that I have chosen to compare these two poems is because they both have the theme of passion, love and the lack of respect for women, however they portray the theme from different points […]
The concept of human mortality has long been a prominent theme in metaphysical poetry. It acknowledges that life inevitably comes to an end, imposing a finite duration on everyone’s existence. This subject matter also prompts contemplation on matters of sexuality. In Andrew Marvell’s “To his Coy Mistress,” the poem explores the fleeting nature of beauty […]
In the poems ‘To his coy mistress’ and ‘In Paris With You’, both of the poets are speaking about a relationship with their lover and they present love through the use of language in many different ways. Love is presented in ‘In Paris With You’ through repetition as ‘Paris’ and the mantra ‘In Paris with […]
In the poems/sonnets, there is a shared opposition to love, but they target different types of love. ‘To His Coy Mistress’ and ‘The Flea’ criticize “romantic love” while endorsing “physical love”. Both poems center around a man’s efforts to court a woman who has vowed to abstain from sexual relations. During the 17th Century, when […]
The ‘courtly love’ tradition dates back to the seventeenth century, and is an idealistic idea based on the circumstance of a knight and his lady, a lover and a beloved. In this essay I will explore this tradition and how it is used in past and present literature. The tradition of ‘courtly love’ is one […]
Each poem displays a different attitude to love: “Our Love Now” explores the end of love; “I wanna be yours” depicts the almost ‘slavish’ side of love; “To His Coy Mistress” is concerned with more sexual side of love. What is most enjoyable about all of these poems is that they depict a variety of […]
