"Nor would I love at lower rate."
The love Marvell express' through this statement is innocence. Not only does he express the feeling of "love" towards the mistress, but also highlights how she deserves it. Also Marvell highlights through this line that his love is real and sincere. However, The idea of time soon encompasses the author to change his opinion on "love" and realize that the effect of time on love will destroy it. Therefore the author highlights how the idea of Carpe Diem seems relevant
I really like this post because of its complexity and deep analysis. I also admire the fact that you mention the change in tone. The author's happiness and infatuation turns to anxiety and worry due to time's quick pace.
ReplyDeleteNice analysis of speaker's innoncence, rather than just his cynicism.
ReplyDeleteShort, sweet, and complexity to further strengthen your argument. The ideas support themselves and I would have to argee how the idea of a limited time with his love one does alter his ideas toward love and creates a slightly negative perspective in respects to how the speaker treats his Coy Mistress.
ReplyDeleteNice contrast. Truly, the narrator must be more complex than his sexual passes seem to imply. Great, and very creative, take on Marvell's character. The change in tone definitely emphasizes a more direct, unquestionable connection.
