🌈The definition of love
Written by Andrew Marvell 🌈
lecture is presented by
Tajul Islam Saifi

🌷The background of this poem
Andrew Marvell wrote this poem and it is published in 1892. It is a metaphysical poem because it follows the theme of love. Andrew Marvell tries to follow the rules of John Donne. Though he could not imitate those instructions properly that are used by John Donne but approximately similar.

🌷Stanza wise short summary:

There are eight quatrains in this poem concerning thirty-two lines.

In the first stanza, the speaker is an anonyms lover probably poet himself. He is telling the characteristics of his love. He tells that his love a rare one and begotten upon impossibility and insecure conditions.

In the second, third and fourth stanzas, the speaker tries to express that his love is divine it can be showed by mighty despair only. Yet he might arrive to his beloved but Fate does not allow them to be mingled physically. Because Fate has a tyrannical power that is why she is jealous.

Fifth, sixth and seven stanzas, Fate placed them (poet and his beloved) to two poles so that they cannot embraced together. Unless the world destructed. The speaker wishes if they have oblique lines, they could meet together at a time having said that they are as parallel, that is why the can ne’er meet.
The concluding stanza tells us the poet wants to prove that their love is just the connection between two minds. Though Fate is a villain in their love but they can still love each other that is called platonic love (opposition of sexual desire)

🌷Structure:
The tone of this poem is humorous and ironic. The meter is a regular iambic tetrameter (a line of poetry with four beats of one unstressed syllable, followed by one stressed syllable). The rhyme scheme follows an ABAB except in two stanzas.

🌷Figure of speech:

 Alliterations (repetition of consonant sounds)
Such as line number 13 “for Fate with jealous eyes” and line number 12 “and always crowds itself” and so on.
 Simile (comparison between two dissimilar things with as/like)
Line 2 and line 25
 Personification: here Fate is personified as person in this poem she is a villainess.
 Metaphor: this poem is full of metaphors and conceits.
