Compose a New Critical essay that examines the Andrew Marvell poem “To His Coy Mistress.”
What is the speaker trying to accomplish? What strategies does he employ in his attempt at reaching his goal? Consider the three stanzas of this poem: compare and contrast the feelings expressed in each of them. At one point, the poem exhibits a sudden and abrupt change in mood. Identify this moment, and explain why it is effective. What specific words does the speaker use to try to “close the sale?” Describe the elements of this piece that would enable a reader to classify this as a carpé diem poem.
