another girl‚ or woman. Sir Walter Raleigh wrote a poem in response to this passage of Marlowe’s entitled "The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd." Although the name of the girl is not stated anywhere in the former poem‚ Raleigh decided to use a wood nymph as his subject. The Shepherd seems to be a meaningful man. His plead for the nymph’s love seems true‚ but is hollow. The Nymph’s reply frankly points this out to the Shepherd in her reply and jokingly refuses him her love. The themes of age‚ weather

Artemis‚ the ancient Greek goddess of the moon‚ childbirth‚ and‚ most importantly‚ the hunt‚ was one of the first heroines in western mythology. She fits well into the mold for archetypal female characters. To start‚ her origin story is a strange one by modern standards but is relatively normal as far as the Greeks go. Her mother‚ Leto‚ had had an affair with Zeus and been impregnated with the twins‚ Artemis and Apollo. Leto was constantly on the run from Hera‚ Zeus’ wife‚ for obvious reasons‚ and

Taking Echo’s power to speak Jupiter created dualities between

Sir Walter Raleigh pretends to write in the style of the original poem but exaggerates that style and changes the content for comic effect. In The Nymph’s Reply‚ the nymph’s idea of the shepherd’s ever-lasting gifts is comical. In other words‚ the nymph shuts him down and even if the shepherds gifts where ever-lasting then it would still just be a maybe. While both “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” and “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” use the same writing style‚ “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd”
