Comparing Donne and Marvell
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page analysis of John Donne's 'The Flea,' and Andrew Marvell's 'To His Coy Mistress.' Donne and Marvell were two of the seventeenth century's greatest poets. Men of profound thought, intellect, and understanding, they could also be witty, casual and ­yes‹lecherous.

To His Coy Mistress / Seizing The Day
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Every mother of every child has admonished the curse of time; if one does not take advantage of what comes one's way at the precise moment that it does, it is likely never to return again. By waiting and hoping one's life away, imagining things will be better with the addition of wealth or power, a person merely wishes time by. Thus is the message in Andrew Marvell's poem To His Coy Mistress, which speaks of the merits of seizing the day, rather than waiting until tomorrow to accomplish one's life dreams and goals. The writer discusses this concept as it relates to the poem. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Use Of Logic To Seduce Women In John Donne's 'The Flea' And Andrew Marvell's 'To His Coy Mistress'
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. It is a paltry attempt to employ the use of logic in both John Donne's The Flea and Andrew Marvell's To His Coy Mistress; however, despite the lack of ingenuity on their parts, the men have somewhat successfully achieved this goal. Indeed, one must utilize a decent amount of logic in order to acquire the sexual favors of the opposite sex, particularly when the recipient is an unwitting participant. Attention from their less-than-willing partners is what both Donne and Marvell are trying very diligently to acquire, yet their efforts are constantly met with obstruction. The writer compares how both authors employ logic into their seduction techniques. No additional sources cited.
