"To His Coy Mistress, is about a man, who wants to sleep with a young woman, but is scared that he does not have a lot of time left. Both the characters aims are the same, but their motivations are different. The Duke is informing the envoy about how he expects his wife to be by talking to him about his ex-wife. This is because he is trying to finalise the deal of marrying the Count's daughter, and wants to make a good impression, this slips throughout the poem, and he reveals his real self. However this contrasts with the speaker, because he is trying to persuade a woman to sleep with him.
In the poem “Medusa” gender conflict through control is also illustrated when she says: “a suspicion, a doubt, a jealousy”. This depicts that she feels ownership over her husband and wants him to “be terrified” if he does not obey her commands. However, in “Les Grands Seigneurs” the narrator conveys that after she was “wedded, bedded … a toy, a plaything … wife” she is nostalgic for the first three stanzas to how men were towards her before she was married as she is now powerless. We can depict that there was less gender conflict before she was married. Moreover, in “Medusa” powerlessness is also portrayed when she rhetorically questions herself “Wasn’t I beautiful?
To His Coy Mistress" begins as a declaration of the speaker's love, but, by its end, it makes the assumption that the woman being addressed is as passionate as the speaker. He declares his love in fantastic, larger-than-life terms in the first twenty lines, because he is describing an admittedly unreal situation: his love would grow to span continents and stretch from the beginning of time to the end, he tells her, if only it could. This poem is describing a man's thoughts about his love and wishes. He wants to take things slow and just "dally" around, but they cannot. Time is of the essence so to speak.
The depth of emotion around these topics is intense but handled very differently in each poem. In ‘Hour’, the love is passionate and sexual. The lovers are probably married to other people, or facing some other restriction and their meeting is dangerous. This danger makes it exciting. Her passion for her lover is seen when she says things like “for thousands of seconds we kissed”.
She has connected sex to love. When she is ignored by her lover, she is upset. Her lovers behavior is contributing to a obsessive rampage. The story shows the pure desperation for love and the effect on a person it can have.She shows how much she will accept for her own perfect picture of love. In the end what really matters Truth or Love?
The speaker is trying to persuade his lover to have actual intercourse with his him, but as she refuses, he says that they had already performed intercourse- in the flea. In ‘To His Coy Mistress’ metaphysical imagery is also used, but in a different way: the speaker is attempting to woo his love by explaining how, if they had more time, they could do everything she wants to do, and the speaker could love his lover forever. This idea of love, however, is not presented in ‘To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time’, ‘A Woman to her Lover’ and ‘First Love’, as they present love to be less intercourse-based, and more on marriage and care. ‘To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time’ is portraying a message to young women in general, telling them that they should get married quickly, as time will pass quickly, and by the time they would get old, it would be too late. ‘A Woman to her Lover’ is portraying that women should be treated as equals to men, and loved in an equal fashion.
Justine Velez “To his Coy Mistress” To his Coy Mistress written by Andrew Marvell, is based on Marvell’s love and desire for his “coy” or shy “mistress” or lady. In this poem Marvell’s sexual tension is announced as he writes a speech explaining to his lady how time is not forever and they should “seize the day.” He does so using romantic and playful tones while also being persuasive. To his Coy Mistress is written in three stanzas using iambic tetrameter. In addition, the rhyme scheme is consistent (a,a,b,b,c,c). Marvell makes certain choices and decisions to explain what would happen if there were more time as well as questioning what will happen in the future.
In Emily Dickinson’s poem, “Wild Nights-Wild Nights!” the author’s rebellious attitude, form, and nautical theme illustrates the sexual engagement between two old lovers. Dickinson’s rebellious attitude is displayed throughout the poem, signifying that she vicariously lived through her poems. The form of the poem is chaotic and messy. The inconsistency of the rhyme scheme of the poem illustrates the speaker’s back and forth feelings of frustration and excitement for pursuing her lover. The author only ends a phrase with an exclamation point, emphasizing the speaker’s excitement for engaging in a sexual encounter with her lover once again.
In “The Storm”, Chopin expresses her opinion and idea to speak for marriage women’s sexual desire in the late1800’s. Back to the story, sexuality is not only fulfills Calixta’s sexual desire and also gives her joy and satisfaction. To be more specific, this story focused on the storm, love, sex, and marriage. At that period of time, Chopin conveys to the readers that women don’t have much opportunities and powers to speak for themselves. The author illustrates to all the women how lonely and dependently women have in the family.
“I am a villain if apprehered to deed” is the male character expressing his passion and love for the married women.
