Donne and Marvell on Seduction

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

This essay analyzes Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" and John Donne's "The Flea" and offers the writer's reaction to these arguments. The writer feels that while both poems are beautiful, they are detrimental to women because neither poet considers the ramifications of premarital sex for the women whom the poets lust after. Three pages in length, only the primary sources are cited.
