A Feminist Reading of Andrew Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress”
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Andrew Marvell is one of the most renowned poets of the metaphysical school of poetry and a great name in the Literary Canon. Several critics have focused their studies on the metaphysical aspect of Marvell‟s poems but not much has been explored and said in the context of gender. This paper intends to capture Marvell‟s gender biases and the suppression of the female persona in his most celebrated poem, “To His Coy Mistress”. This paper also slightly touches upon the rape culture that Marvell has, to some extent, initiated. In the process of exposing the oppressor, the paper entirely deconstructs the image of the „beloved‟ and makes her silence appear a symbol of her strength.
