offering all the riches in his grasp to give to his love. But the Nymph rejects it for a simple reason‚ the only reason necessary; the Shepherd only promises materialist possessions and never mentions a serious relationship‚ let alone actual love. If an honest man is willing to give everything he has to a woman‚ is this action considered love or is it lust? If a woman falls for this bribery is she considered materialistic and naive? By the Nymph actually putting forth an argument and rejecting the Shepherd’s

Marlowe’s "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" and the nymph in "The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd" by Sir Walter Raleigh‚ have very differing ideas of love. Though both speakers have taken different paths down the journey of love‚ they both are very exaggerated. I like the Raleigh’s poem‚ due to the fact that she wants more then just beautiful things. The shepherd uses the beauty of nature to describe his love for the nymph‚ while the nymph uses nature’s impermanence to describe how their love would

nature’s beauty and a litany of gifts‚ Raleigh’s nymph responds that such promises could only remain valid “if all the world and love were young.” Thus‚ she introduces the concepts of time and change. In her world‚ the seasons cause the shepherd’s “shallow rivers” to “rage‚” rocks to “grow cold” and roses to “fade.” The shepherd’s gifts might be desirable‚ but they too are transient: they “soon break‚ soon wither” and are “soon forgotten.” In the end‚ the nymph acknowledges that she would accept the shepherd’s

characters. In this case‚ the shepherd would be classified as the naïve character while the nymph would be sophisticated. The reason behind this would be because of the fact that the shepherd believes that gifts and experiences are the way to sway his love yet the nymph has a more philosophical view where she believes that there not matter the physical gifts‚ there is no substitute for real love. The nymph had a more sophisticated understanding of the world and sees that the shepherd is not able to

At an important marriage‚ that of King Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis‚ to which she alone of all the divinities was not invited‚ she threw into the banqueting hall a golden apple marked For the Fairest. Of course all the goddesses wanted it‚ but in the end the choice was narrowed down to three: Aphrodite‚ Hera

Blurring the lines is a technique often used to add more realism to texts; if the characters aren’t fully good or bad they are more human and more life-like. So therefore many writers use this to create an increased feeling of tragedy as the reader or audience can now relate to their characters more because of their human-like faults.

The main points Marlowe uses for reasoning included that the Shepherd‚ and the Nymph could live in the country‚ that nature is lovely‚ and that they can be happy in nature.

associated with happiness and lustful feelings‚ it can also fade away‚ be hurtful‚ and sacrificial. In “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd‚” a nymph is a fairy‚ a character that exists through imagination and the shepherd is a poor and common worker. The nymph is telling the shepherd that if they “were young and truth in every shepherd’s tongue‚” then the nymph is willing to be with him (Raleigh‚ lines 1-2‚ 720). The “truth in every shepherd’s tongue” refers to promises that the shepherd made (Raleigh
