Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress": The Essence of Time


The male species has a very creative mind. The creative mind becomes
particularly active when the case involves the female species. In Andrew
Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress," the author shows how his creative mind is put
to use. Marvell, uses time in an attempt to manipulate his coy mistress.
Time is depicted in three different manners. First, Marvell uses "ideal
time." In ideal time, he tells how many years he would spend loving her if they

he would spend hundreds of years just to admire her physical being. Next, he
implicates "real time," to persuade her to become accessible to him. In real

her pride if she doesn't give in. Finally, the use of "optimum time" plays on
her emotions of how sweet the opportunity to make love to her would be.
