This is the theme of Love. I know this because William Shakespeare explains within every line of Sonnet 116 that love is forever and unbreakable. Marvell also uses the theme of love, but slightly differently. Marvell tries to persuade his mistress that he loves her, when really he just wants sexual intercourse with her. He uses persuasion at the start of the poem, but then starts charming his mistress by saying he’ll love her once they have sexual intercourse.
Compare how feelings towards another person are presented in “Hour” and “To His Coy Mistress” “Hour” by Carol Ann Duffy and “To His Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvel, deal with feelings and emotions towards another person in different ways. In “Hour” the narrator describes an hour spent between her and her lover, and how the feeling of love they share between them is so strong it nearly manages to stop time. Whereas in “To His Coy Mistress” the narrator is telling the woman who he loves that she shouldn’t play hard to get because there isn’t enough time in the world. His feelings of physical passion grow throughout the poem as he tries to persuade her to have sex with him while they are still young and attractive. Form and structure are used effectively in both poems to show feelings and emotions to their lovers.
The Friar responds with, “Young men’s love then lies/ Not truly in their hearts but, in their eyes jesu maria, what the deal of brine/ Hath washes thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline!”(2.3.68-90). In the first act, Romeo thought himself to be in love with Rosaline. Romeo had been distraught over the fact that his beloved Rosaline was going to become a nun. Romeo would never be able to love Rosoline, or be with her. Friar Lawrence makes fun of Romeo saying that young men only love what they see.
3.Presentation of relationships in 'To His Coy Mistress' and 'Ghazal' Both 'Ghazal' and 'To His Coy Mistress' present relationships as self-seeking and manipulative, as the narrators in both poems desire the sexual fulfilment of their lover. In 'To His Coy Mistress' Andrew Marvell uses form for effect. The narrator in the poem is trying to convince his love to have sex with him, and his whole argument can be seen as humorous and playful. One way we see this is through the use of rhyming couplets which are employed throughout the poem: 'Had we but world enough, and time, This coyness, Lady, were no crime'. The extended use of rhyming couplets has a comic effect in this poem as the fast paced rhymes read like a collection of little jokes with fast punch lines.
This idea is reinforced through the alliterated words ‘whinge and wine’. She scorns him by addressing with the words ‘grim’ and ‘swine’. The first stanza culminates with the expression of his ‘loyalty’ towards his wife and children, which prevents him from having the affair. Sophie makes a parody of ‘loyalty’ by making us reflect on the fact, how can a person be loyal when he has made up his mind to commit adultery. There is a caesura used with the word ‘fine’, to bring an appreciation on the man by the persona for his commitment towards his wife and children.
He is saying that is might not be wise for loving him, but he swears it won’t be stupid for he is going to be “horribly” in love with her. The word choice of “horribly” emphasizes a sense of awkwardness because he doesn’t know the first thing when it comes to love. It also gives a bit of that comical side to Benedick’s character, even in the name of love, he still can’t forget about the competition between him and Beatrice.

She cries out in tears that “[John] loved [her], and whatever sin it is, [he] loved [her] yet!” and she pleads for John to “pity [her]” (Miller 24). Abigail is reluctant to acknowledge that their relationship is over; she desires the physical love and lust because she wants more notice. Whether it be negative or not, she still wants
“To His Coy Mistress” is a lyrical poem written by Andrew Marvel. In this poem, Marvel uses vivid imagery and explicit allusions to convey the urgency of time and the impending doom that each passing moment presents. The speaker of the poem, a young man, uses the element of time to plead relentlessly with the female object of his desire to seize the day. He urges her to act swiftly, to give him her virginity before time slips away from them both, and the moment is lost forever. In the first stanza of the poem, the young man is attempting to persuade the young woman to stop coyly refuting his advances, desperately explaining that there is not enough time for such an act.
He wishes she could eventually become his wife because she is beautiful and compassionate. Suspicion arises at the end of the opening scene when we are introduced to Don John.
