After reading Marvell's poetry I have come to believe that the statement of Marvell being a misogynist is not true. To me he is simply retaliating to the rejection he receives from women.
             Evidence of this comes from the poem 'the Garden' where Adam is kicked out of the Garden of Eden and so he blames it on Eve. This supports my thinking for the reason that after being rejected by the woman he uses sarcasm and humour to get the message across that he is not to be taken seriously.
             Further proof that supports my argument is that in the poem 'To His Coy Mistress' where Marvell expresses his feelings quite clearly, where after trying to seduce the woman into sleeping with him she rejects him therefore forcing him to make absurd statements. He basically says to the woman if u don't want to sleep with me now, forget about it later because you will be too ugly then. This shows that he does have some feelings towards women proving that he is not completely alienated. This statement is not very serious and it was not meant to be which shows that he is only mocking.
             Also, Marvell acts in a mischievous manner in 'The Garden' which takes me back to the point of him not being serious. In the opening of the poem Marvell states that there is no use in trying to win the laurel because it is already available at your local nursery. He continues with this playfulness throughout the poem which shows that his trying to get this woman is not to be taken seriously.
             From Marvell's poetry is easy to mistake him as being completely alienated from women because of the constant rejection he receives from women but what you have to look at is the way he deals with the rejection. On almost every occasion he uses humour and sarcasm adding to the already playful nature of the poem which I think supports my argument of him not being completed alienated from women.
             So, as a conclusion to my argument that
