This webpage was created for the class ENG2100 at Wayne State University. The assignment was to compare two or more poems that demonstrated common themes and to prove why the poems had similar or different context or messages. Everything published on this site is up for debate. All claims are based on opinion supported by academic research on the poems themselves.
In this webpage I claim that the three poems listed on the home page, To The Virgins, to Make Much of Time by Robert Herrick, Song (Go, Lovely Rose) by Edmund Waller and To His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell are all carpe diem poems about lust rather than love. I hope you enjoy the content of this webpage regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the claims and that you find it helpful!
Thank you.
