“To His Coy Mistress” is a very interesting poem. The main plot of the poem is about this guy trying to pick up a girl for the night. The poem is not about the setting. I assumed it was at a bar because of the way he was talking to her and that's where most guys go to pick up a girl for the evening. We see this poem through the guy's eyes, in doing so Marvell gives insight into his mind and what he thinks. This helps bring the reader into the poem. This allows the reader to delve into his mind as the poem progresses. We start to see the guy develop his words more and more until by the third stanza he's pretty desperate. In the first stanza we see the guy start to move. He starts telling her all these sweet lines about how he could spend eternity with her. For example, he says in line 11: "My vegetable love should grow wider than empires, and more slowly;..." In these two lines, he is trying to tell her how his love will grow more and more with each time he sees her. . He will love her until the end of time. A few lines later, he continues to speak of his eternal love. He begins to share his love between the parts of his body. He promises her that he will devote a hundred years to her eyes. Then he told her that he would devote two hundred to each breast. That last line about breasts struck me as quite funny. Here you begin to see how his mind begins to turn to sex. He begins to shift his thoughts from his eyes to his body. He's very nonchalant about it. After the comment about her breasts, he said and thirty to the rest. I can just see this guy talking to him. He emphasizes the boobs comment a bit, then I imagine him muttering, "oh yeah... and thirty thousand for the rest." The guy is only looking for one thing, and that is sex. He tries to be gentle, but in the next stanza we begin to see his patience wearing thin. In the second stanza we start to see the guy's personality change..
