In what ways havethe three poets used, or departed from, the conventions of their timeand why do you think they have been successful in entertaining theirreaders? To His Coy Mistress, The Flea and Shall I Compare Thee are allpoems indite in the 17th century. Marvell, Donne and Shakespeare whowere the authors of the poems, departed from conventions of that time.Marvel and Donne wrote metaphysical poetry and invented a new genre,whereas Shakespeare wrote a sonnet which appeared to be compose in thestyle of that time but with twists. They have achieved these poems by fetching a unique approach to writing them and by k eeping the readers socialize through amusement, dismay and excitement.To His Coy Mistress and The Flea are very correspondent in context andpurpose. They are metaphysical poems which reflect wit, obscurecomparisons of objects and the creation of love and sex. The purpose ofboth poems was to get the speakers kept woman to sleep with him, usingstrong imagery in an act of persuasion. The poems were written toentertain and would have been passed round the writers friends in golf-club to amuse them. Shall I compare thee as yet, stood out becausethe writer chose a convention already in use. The purpose of thissonnet was to flatter his loved iodine and in an unexpected twist at theend, also himself.Had we but world... ...ent sense to the poet from the loving andaffectionate one we once felt. He comes across noble-minded and slightlyarrogant about his work, and puts a different slant on what was once aconventional love poem.In conclusion I think the 17th day reaction would have been entertaining and peculiar(a) and therefore quite different to the reaction Iwould expect now. spate today would find the poetry quite shockingand distasteful and they would non be considered politically correct.To His Coy Mistress is successful because it is entertaining, wherasThe Flea is successful because its fascinating and slightlyconfusing at times. Shall I compare thee however is totallydifferent because it has departed from it and the overall result wasvery successful. The poet went from delighting the auditory sense then totwisting their opinions of him keeping them entertained.
