Question:

In the poem "To His Coy Mistress", what is the speaker's attitude toward women?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I'm not sure how he feels toward womyn in general, but it's clear he adores the "object" of his poem, the lady for whom he writes. Maybe he objectified womyn. Yet here, he creates an image of this woman that he clearly worships.

He is, to use the clich㩬 setting her up on a pedestal:

"An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart."

The worship is based on lust and animal attraction, however elegant his verse may seem.

He has made of his love interest a very diva, a goddess:

"For, lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate."

In the second stanza, where he admits the futility of earthly love, he confesses his attraction has lust. Do we conclude from this that the speaker would view all womyn as objects of lust?
