Herick Vs Marvel

Marvell’s poem expresses the idea of carpe diem through the utilization of imagery, multiple tones and metaphors. He uses death as an argument for carpe diem because it causes one to realize that they should cherish the life they have now before it is too late. “To His Coy Mistress” shows that the society of Marvell’s time did not allow for people to take chances in their lives. Many people may have passed on taking certain risks in their lives, and when the time did come for their lives to end, they were filled with thoughts containing wishes of taking those risks they passed over. This poem teaches people to fully live every moment in their life and it should be read so that people can learn to live life with no regrets.

As Wendy Martin says “the poem leaves the reader with painful impression of a woman in her mid-fifties, who having lost her domestic comforts is left to struggle with despair. Although her loss is mitigated by the promise of the greater rewards of heaven, the experience is deeply tragic.” (75)

Biblical references are used as he refers to Noah’s arc and ‘conversion of the Jews’ which is the end of the world. Marvell also uses euphemism ’vegetable love will grow’ where he’s saying he is getting over excited. From line 23 to line 18 the man is trying to persuade her by using hyperbole, flattery and exaggeration. On line 20 the man is telling the women how beautiful she is and how much he loves her. Generally in the first section the man doesn’t think much of the woman respect wise because he’s trying everything possible to get her.

To his Coy Mistress, I would say they are all tragic poems as The Lady

In the poem “Carpe Diem,” as well as in “To the Virgins,” the authors utilize symbolism in different ways to express a similar meaning. The quote “Whether thou liv’st more winters, or thy last…Whilst we are talking, envious time doth slide:” from “Carpe Diem” conveys the message that dwelling on one’s destiny

“It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a paper about the makers of them comic books! “

In Geoffrey Chaucer’s poem The Canterbury Tales a young Chaucer tells of the people he meets on a pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint Thomas Beckett in Canterbury. One of the most vivacious characters on the pilgrimage is The Wife of Bath. Both the Wife of Bath’s prologue and tale share a common theme of a woman’s control in a relationship with a man. The Wife of Bath and the old hag in her tale share a similar perspective on what women want most in life. In the prologue and tale the reader is exposed to the idea that what women most desire in life is to have control over their husbands and lovers. This tale and its prologue are linked through the way that Dame Alice, the Wife of Bath, fashions the old hag in her tale after herself.

Two poems that can be compared to each other are “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” and “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night.” These poems both seem to share the theme of life coming to a close. In the poem “To the Virgins”, there is a line that reads “The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, the higher he’s a-getting, The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he’s to setting”; this creates an image of a soul ascending to heaven. “Do Not Go Gentle” conveys a similar image in the fourth stanza; as the souls go to heaven, they are welcomed by the sun’s rays. However, the poems also seem to share different meanings. The overall message of “To the Virgins” is that people should make the most of life because it will not last long. This is evidenced

In “To His Coy Mistress” it’s about a guy trying to conquer the love of a mistress. He tells her how much time he will wait for her and his love will endure forever as long as she is with him. Later the tone changes and it’s when carpe diem takes place. He starts to say that they don’t have all the time in the world and that one day all this will end. He points out that beauty one day will end and that she should take the advantage of being with him now that she is young and beautiful and not waiting till she’s old and wrinkly. Also he mentions her virginity and says that she should have sexual intercourse before she dies because if she dies as a virgin it’s the same thing as doing it while being alive because worms will still get inside her and eat all her remains. He wants to be with her, and would’ve waited a long time to get what he wanted, but since they don’t have all the time in the world and one day will die he wants

Death is the major speaker of this poem, its persona shows how cruel and violent it can be, however she also speaks of getting everything out of life you can before death. Starting with line twenty three of the poem she begins talking about living a full life before death, "When it 's over, I want to say all my life/I was a bride married to amazement/I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms." (23-25). Being a bride married to amazement is a comparison to commitment, being with the same person every day. However in this case with a lifestyle instead. Doing amazing and memorable things every possible day you can, not letting life pass you by. This also fits perfectly with the next few lines

There is a similar theme running through both of the poems, in which both mistresses are refusing to partake in sexual intercourse with both of the poets. The way in which both poets present their argument is quite

Thesis- People are not as they may seem. We see this with the speakers in “To His Coy Mistress,” and, “My Last Duchess,” with different motivations, but similar intentions they both see women as objects but in different ways. They illustrate contrasting viewpoint with their description of the women in their lives - the speaker in the “Coy Mistress” appears to desire and maybe even glorify his mistress, but the Duke appears contemptuous of his Duchess, and talks about her in a vilify way. The word choices and poetic rhetorical devices of the speakers reveal their attitudes toward women.

The constant battle between our favorites has shown itself common now more than ever. Who do we like better? What do we like better? What is the absolute best? Are these questions necessary? No. But do they keep our lives interesting? Oh yes. In the spring of every year, there always seems to be a new superhero movie that debuts and leaves us on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next one. This year, we are being blessed with two movies, from two separate corporations, Marvel and DC; which leaves us with the question… Who did it better?
