Love in To His Coy Mistress, Shall I liken Thee, Let Me Not, and The FleaThe intravenous feeding poems I am going to be comparing argon, To His Coy Mistress,Shall I Compare Thee, Let Me Not, and The Flea. All four ofthese poems are found on the subject matter of love. The four poemshave a lot in common but each poem touches a different boldness of love.Two of the poems, Shall I Compare Thee, and Let Me Not, aresonnets and both were written by Shakespeare. To His Coy Mistress iswritten by Andrew Marvell and The Flea was written by John Donne.All four of the poems have three parts to them each posing a differentargument. I will be analysing and comparing the four poems in thepurpose of the poem, the nature of love, the effect of outsideinfluences on their love, the form of the poem and the techniques thepoets use convincingly. The main purpose of To His Coy Mistress is to persuade Marvellsmistress to consummate their relationship together, this is also thesame purpose of The Flea. The other purposes are to brag about howgood he is at writing this is shown in his arrogant style of writing.It is for seduction, a satire of legal persuasive speech and the finalpurpose is a varan of mortality, and they should seize the day. Italso says that the woman is rattling shy and that if they had all the arena but enough time so being shy is not a crime, this is shown inthe opening lines, Had we but world enough, and time, This coyness,Lady, were no crime. Phrases such as, amorous birds of prey, andtear our pleasures show that they consummate their relationship.Times wingd chariot hurrying near, is a reminder that death willsoon dawn upon then and so there is more reason ... ...hat he is a fantasticwriter.All four of the poems are very persuasive and are written effectivelyby the poets techniques. Shall I Compare Thee and Let Me Not areboth romantic and flatter the lady Shakespeare is writing for. Boththe sonnets make Shakespeares loved one seem extremely special andSha kespeare does it convincingly. To His Coy Mistress is humorous inplaces and maintains the politeness passim the poem. To His CoyMistress is also very persuasive and Marvell convinces his beloved toconsummate their relationship. The Flea is effective because a fleais so insignificant but the way the poet describes it makes it seem soimportant. All of the poems are very similar and definitely have manysimilarities between them, the main one is obviously love but they all parley about death being the main outside influence on their love.
