Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress": Literary Analysis
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
5 pages in length. Andrew Marvell's To His Coy Mistress clearly addresses the fact that after death, virtue holds no value. This, in particular, is why the author stresses the worthlessness of the vanities during one's lifetime, emphasizing that one must do away with all trepidation when it comes to temptation. By seizing the day, one can avoid
regrets of not having achieved or taken part in the more adventurous side of life; those who sidestep out-of-the-ordinary experiences are doing nothing more than shortchanging themselves of the already brief time here on earth. The writer discusses diction, metaphor, rhythm, tone and imagery as they relate to the poem. No additional sources cited.
