A Feminist Perspective of To His Coy Lover Andrew Marvell, a 17th century poetry writer, focuses on a topic that still baffles the minds of readers today, sex . Marvell shows a world where women are seduced. For centuries, women and men have focused on the issue of sex. The most ironic thing the reader should notice while reading this poem is that, even though they are in two different time contexts, the same persuasions are used as an argument in Marvell's time as well as in the present. Even though he uses love and time as reasons why she should have sex with him, his main focus is on her body. The Marble Vault is a part of her body, the female genital organ. Marvell displays the patriotic attitude that it is okay to raise this discussion with a woman. In other words, it's okay for a male to be aggressive and hostile towards a female. The young woman in "To His Coy Mistress" is definitely not to be taken for a mere fool because he wouldn't go out of his way to convince her to give him her body. His words to describe the young woman as shy show his response to her question. The speaker seems desperate as he tries to win her over. His mood began to change in the poem from calm to impatient just with the use of his words. In the end he even contradicts himself. At the beginning he states: "Of umbero I would complain. I would love you ten years before the flood, And you should, if you will, refuse until the conversation of the Jews My vegetable love should grow wider than empires and slower;... .center of the sheet......where) "My echoing song; then the worms will test that long-persevered virginity / And your delicate honor will turn to dust / And to ashes all my lust." He is talking about rough sex. He wants to be physically involved with her instead of the love that is the lust so stated in the last quote.. Finally we come to the final point where feminists would call this guy a monster pleasure is the speaker's main concern rest and every part. In conclusion "To His Coy Mistress" contains a sexual theme. It uses the "marble vault" and points towards death to scare and conquer the young woman also the same tactic different from today.
