Compare and contrast ‘To His Coy Mistress’ and ‘The Passionate Shepherd to His Love’

Both of these meters explore the story of bop amid a man and a woman. The desired erupt lessen is the same, but the poets onslaught to seduce their l all overs in different ways. Andrew Marvell wrote To his coy mistress a cleverly indite poe subdue based on the phrase carpe diem or seize the day. It was an effort to compensate a woman quietude with him. Chri wear outher Marlowe wrote the poesy The passionate ward to His Love. This is a wild-eyedist poem ab discover a man never wanting to be apart from him love and always wanting her to assimilate the best.He pleads for the womans love by offering his eternal commit workforcet and a beautiful life. He repeats merry with me and be my love throughout the poem to show he wants to be with her forever, he also says and I result make the beds of roses which exaggerates the natural beauty he is telling her she will subscribe in the pastoralside, when she lives with him. The two poems use actually different arguments to c onduct the women to do similar affairs. The two arguments are close to being completely the foe even though they are trying to achieve similar things.The stop in which each poem was written has a actually expressed influence on the style, the persuasive actors line, imagery and vocabulary. The period in which the poem was written also affects the style of it. The emotional Shepherd to His Love has a theme of love which includes the beauty of nature and presents this through idyllic imagery and offerings. In His Coy Mistress in that respect are loving gestures and romantic thoughts but Marvell rights in such a way that the reader must be queer of his sincerity, he makes us think this by putting across a strong sense or urgency.But at my punt I always hear times winged chariot hurrying adjoining this quote is saying that no military issue what he does, in the back of his mind there I always a countdown until its to late for them to be together. He also paints a rather distu rbing picture of the worms taking the womans virginity that she is preserving then worms sh all told try that long preservd virginity. I would relate this to irony and biting humour. what is more, Marlowe sets his theme in a picturesque, fairytale setting, by making lots of romantic suggestions and showing the woman how much he loves her using exotic language.On the early(a) hand Marvells poem does make wild and slightly romantic suggestions but, I would say that it is quite easy to think that he salutary wants to sleep with her, I get this thought from him repeating come live with me.. it seams to be more like a bribe than expressing how much he loves her. At the begging of the poem he is more romantic My vegetable love should grow Vaster than empires, and more slow but as the poem goes on he turns more to the theme of her losing her virginity and time running out for this to happen.At this point I thought the poem was less of a romantic poem and more of a convincing one. Fro m approximately half(a) way into the poem he starts to talk as if they were one and some like he had do the decision for her. Let us helix all out strength, and all our sweetness, up into one ball and though we can non make out sun stand still, only we will make him run. I think that this is a very powerful tone, and the wittiness The thesis in Marvells poem is that time will run out and it will be to a fault late for her to lose her virginity.He suggests end this, they should sleep together as soon as possible. And yonder all before us lie deserts of vast eternity, thy beauty shall no more be found this quote is saying that she will not be beautiful forever and he wants to sleep with her before she is unattractive. In Marlowes poem there isnt a thesis because even though he is urging her in the same way as in the other poem. He isnt expressing any problems to spoil the perfect life he is portraying.I think the viewpoint from both of the poems is as if the poet is speaking the poem as appose to righting is as someone else looking in on what the men are saying to the women. The men generally use different techniques to persuade the women to sleep with them. However there are some similarities, like the event that they both paint a very pretty picture in your mind. In Marlowes poem And we will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks, by shallow rivers to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals. And in Marvells Thou by the Indian gang side Shouldst rubies find.Obviously aside from the fact that he is stuck by the river humber. Flattery is a very persuasive form of language but it isnt used in The Passionate Shepherd to His Love. However plaudit is used in To His Coy Mistress, thou by the Indian Ganges side shouldst rubies find I by the tide of Humber would complain the speaker verbalise that he would be by the river Ganges in India with rubies and he would be by the side of the river Humber in Hull. This quote shows the he puts h er above himself or so it was meant to seem to the woman.He uses exaggeration to persuade the woman to sleep with him. Like amrous birds of prey let us roll all our strength, and all our sweetness, up into one ball marble vault, shall sound my echoing song theses quotes are examples of his use of over exaggerating things. Marvels poem has a hyperbole near to the beginning of the text. My vegetable love should grow vaster than empires and more slow this is saying that if human life was infinite, it would not matter how long it took to seduce her. It exaggerates and is there to convince the woman he loves her.Furthermore the speaker suggests as a synthesis that she should sleep with him before its too late times winged chariot hurrying near and then worms shall try that long preservd virginity. He produces a very strong and convincing argument. In comparison Marlowes poem is a plea to his love for her to move to the countryside with him come live with me and be my love and the shephe rds swains shall dance and sing. He idealises life in the country and makes it sound romantic and perfect I will make thee beds of roses and a thousand fragrant posies, a cap of flowers, and a kirtle embroidered all with leaves of myrtle.He ignores all the bad points and really exaggerates the good and what he is going to do for her when she arrives, which is a perfect home with amazing views, a gown made of the finest wool made from the prettiest lambs and fair lined slippers for the cold, with buckles of th purest gold, a belt of husk and ivy buds, with coral clasps and amber studs. To His Coy Mistress uses much more poetic language in comparison to The Passionate Shepherd to His Love which doesnt any similes or metaphors. To His Coy Mistress similes sits on skin like morning dew paints a very pretty picture in ones mind. Like amrous birds of prey this creates the heart and soul that the man is very desperate in persuading her and it is also a very strong thing to say, much l ike his movites. We cannot make out sun stand still, yet we will make him run here the speaker is saying that he cant stop time from passing, but life is short, pleasure should be enjoyed while there is still time. he also implies a warning to prepare for death.In conclusion I think that the most persuasive poem is The Passionate Shepherd to his Love because he makes the woman feel special and he doesnt raise her losing her virginity or the idea that time is running out. Instead he implies that time is no object when you are in love with someone as beautiful as her. These poems have had a very defiant effect on me, this being that I started to look into the attitudes to love now and I thought about how and why they have changed over time. Also it like a shot made me put myself in the receiving end of the poem and thought about how I would react to them individually.
