Chapter 10 Tone #4

I found the poem "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell to be a little weird. I think that this guy sounds like a little bit obsessive. His talking to a woman who does not want to give into his sexual passion, but he is saying all of this after she does so. It is like he said he will never give up. I think it is weird he is saying how "my vegetable love should grow" because from what I took, they aren't together! She denied him, so I do not see why he is trying to convince her to give in or trying to say he is going to still try. If a guy said this to me, I would be creeped out. Also, he says pretty much that they can make the best of their love with the short time of life they have. I am not for sure if this is what the poem means, but I thought that this was weird because, again, I do not think that they are together. This was how I took the poem, so I am sure it is wrong but it is just what I thought. I will see when we discuss this in class if my thoughts were close to the actual meaning.
