Comparison of how The Flea and To His Coy Mistress Present and Develop
The Flea and To His overmodest Mistress are two poems written by poets living during the rebirth Period. To His Coy Mistress was written by Andrew Marvell and The Flea was written by toilet Donne. Both of these poets were well-educated metaphysical poets, and these poems illustrate metaphysical concerns, highly abstract and metaphysical beliefs, that the poets would have been interested in. Both poems are based around the same(p) idea of trying to reason with a mistress as to why they should launch up their virginity to the poet.There is a similar theme running done both of the poems, in which both mistresses are refusing to partake in versed intercourse with both of the poets. The port in which both poets present their phone line is quite different as Marvell is writing from a perspective from which he is depicting his mistress as being coy, and essentially, mean, in refusing him sex, and Donne is comparing the rail line lost by a flea bite to the blood that would be get together during sex. Marvell immediately makes clear his thoughts in the poem when he says, Had we but humankind enough, and time/ This coyness, Lady were no crime, he is conveying the carpe diem idea that there is not enough time for her to be coy and refuse him intimate intercourse and he justifies this thought when he suggests when she is dead, in ?thy marble miss?, and ?worms shall try that long preserved virginity?. He is using the idea of worms crawl all over and in her corpse as a way of saying that the worms are going to take her virginity if she waits until death. Donne justifies his bid for her virginity in a much longer and more methodical way, he uses the idea of the flea fetching her blood and mixing it with his, ?It suck?d me first, and now sucks thee?, and then... ...n The Flea) were viewed as extremely inventive and smart in the eyes of the people reading them during the rebirth period.The poets integrated ?metaphysical conceits? as focal parts of these poems . Along with these, they employ effective language as a basis for their convincing arguments, they include subjects of periodical importance (e.g. ?courtship? and ?religion?), and use very clever structures that are manipulated in order to make the poem read in the desired way. The very clear indication of the theme in apparent movement was strongly aided by the way in which the personas portrayed the emotions they felt and the way they showed their attitudes towards the subject. Considering all these factors, the poets made critical arguments to the mistresses in order to falsify their views, thus changing their minds, on denying the poets the sex that they desired so strongly.
