An Analysis of To His Coy Mistress :: To His Coy Mistress, Andrew Marvell
The poem, To His Coy Mistress, by Andrew Marvell brings out some actions that some of us have experienced or even thought about in this concise poem.à This poem is very appealing to the male senses and what some make are like.à Some women could be thought of when this is read. Andrew Marvell puts it in words that make it seem as if it was very acceptable. à The first twenty lines of the poem start to talk about how much this girl means to this perticular man.à The main character in the poem talks about how he will wait forever to be with her.à He mentions that ââ¬Å"We would sit down and think which way To walk and pass our long loveââ¬â¢s day.â⬠(st. 3-4)à His views as of now are that he wants to take his time and he doesnââ¬â¢t have go anywhere.à This man certainly wants to plan things out so that it will be perfect.à à Another line from the poem that makes him the gentleman that he is portraying to be is ââ¬Å"An hundred years should go to praise Thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze. ââ¬Å"(st.13-14)à I think he is saying that we will give praise to her eyes that are so magnificent.à Her eyes are so beautiful, because of which he will praise them for hundred years before they can truly be together.à Later on it mentions that he will praise her breast each for two hundred years.à The mood is set that this man certainly wants to be with this woman.à He is telling her how he feels and wants her to understand that he really wants to be with her. à à à à In the next twelve lines we begin to see a bit of difference in the attitude.à As of now the guy is thinking, well maybe we donââ¬â¢t have enough time to sit around and wait.à The chariotââ¬â¢s of time is pointed outà by saying that it is hurrying near.à Maybe we donââ¬â¢t have enough time anymore.à We should hurry up and get with it.à ââ¬Å"Thy beauty shall no more be found, Nor, in thy marble vault shall sound.â⬠(st. 25-26)à I imagine that he is telling her that if we wait to long then you shall be dead and then we would have never gotten the chance.à He is trying to tell her that they should hurry it up.
