"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.
The last sentence of this first stanza says, “Nor would I love you at a lower rate.” It is as if Marvell is trying to tell us and his mistress how much love he hold for you before revealing what it is he is expecting and hoping for in return. The second stanza’s tone is more serious and persuasive. This stanza is attempting to make his lady feel guilty and try to get her to lose her virginity. The second sentence states, “Time’s winged chariot hurrying near.” He is emphasizing how time will run out and they must get done what is awaiting them. Here, Marvell also brings out his main argument
This makes Cyrano upset because he doesn't want someone else taking credit for his poetry that he means towards Roxanne. As the play progresses Roxanne begins to fall in love with the wrong person and doesn't even know it. The central conflict in this play is Cyrano loves Roxane but due to his lacks self esteem he feels like he is too ugly for her to ever love him. In order to be with Roxane, Cyrano needs to overcome his lack of self-esteem that comes from his awkward appearance and big nose. Once he is able to do that he needs to tell Roxane that he is the one that has been writing her love letters, not Christian.
When getting “whistles” she doesn’t know how to handle the attention. She is unsure about whether she should get excited because someone is paying attention to her or if she should be angry or upset by the rude gestures (11). She then feels the need to be one of the boys but at the same time trying to desirable enough so they would want to be with her. This can be seen when the narrator says, “it’s learning to say fuck with grace but learning to fuck without it” 15-16). The most powerful image of the poem comes when she says; “it’s finally having a man reach out for you then caving in around his fingers” (17-20).
David Jones 10A2 Response to ‘His Coy Mistress’ Dear Mr Marvell, I am writing in response to the poem you sent me. I have to say it is quite flattering for the majority of the poem but I did find certain areas quite intimidating and would make me wonder if I would want to be with you. I can see that you feel very passionately about me and the words you use make me wonder if we were meant to be together but it is too forward, as I barely know you. With time our relationship may blossom, I am not sure. I will give you a more in-depth idea on how I can see how much you like me though.
In other words, Mescudi is trying to explain how he is lonely, but that is ironic because you would expect him to have any girl he desires. He is saying how love is ignorant to him, but he still needs someone to love him. In addition, Mescudi uses connotation very well in his poem. He says, “An independent sister got me fly when she could, But they all didn’t see, the little bit of sadness in me, Scotty”, (13-14). Mescudi’s point is to show how his older sister bought him everything he needed when she could.
They wrote this song to express their feelings of a situation in which a guy has a deep love for a girl who does not reciprocate his love for her. The song explores the guy's feelings for the girl and his quest to understand why the girl does not want to be with him. Saves the Day utilizes various elements in "Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven," which collaborate to enhance the effect of the song: the purpose and theme compose the ideas in the lyrics, the symbolism creates a more entertaining and dramatic effect, and the unique physical aspects of the song further increases its effectiveness on the listener. The purpose and theme make up the ideas represented in the lyrics of "Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven." Saves the Day wrote this song either to express their view of the situation or more likely as an actual message to a girl.
He says that ‘till all graces be in one woman, one woman shall not be in my grace,’ which the audience may perceive as Benedick being very particular about his choice of women. ‘Her hair shall be of what colour it please God’ suggesting that Benedick does not want to have anything to do with loving a woman, and therefore influencing her decisions. This could also be interpreted as Benedick being very indignant because he has been hurt by love before and there for is quite vulnerable in the sense he does not want to let his guard down. The audience perceive his outlook as slightly weary and nervous to fall into love again, and he
Also we have to take into account that during this period, life was beginning to fall apart and reforms were highly sought after by the populace. After the Black Death, The Crusades and the Hundred Years War, people were soon realizing that their time was short and they needed to live out their short lives in ways that would bring them happiness. ‘To His Coy Mistress’ is a lyrical poem that shows an example of the use of the ‘carpe diem’ theme in poetry. Through this poem, which was written by Andrew Marvell, the author shows traits of carpe diem by trying to woo a woman into having a sexual relationship with him without waiting and wasting the time of dating. He realizes that her coyness is wasting the time they have in this life.
Is there a formula to poetry? Can a person fit words into a certain form and create “art?” Some poets seem to think this, which causes distress for others who believe in true poetry and true art. In her poem, “Poetry,” Marianne Moore expresses her disdain for phony poetry that tries to fit into a set mold and suggests that there is better side to poetry, as long as it is raw and genuine. The poem scorns poetry that is too structured or tries to follow a certain style. Moore jumps right into a negative approach with the words “I too, dislike it; there are thing that are important beyond all this fiddle” (Moore 1-2).
