OBJ: To explore how to respond to the 10 mark question in unseen poetry in the AS exam.
Analysis of The Passion Of The Shepard To His Love
'There will I make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant posies' - Nature is seen as idyllic in pastoral poetry
'Come live with me and be my love' - Idyllic language used to depict nature represents idyllic aspect of love.
'pretty lambs we pull; Fair lined slippers for the cold, With buckles of the purest gold' - Celestial imagery insinuates transcendence of his love over normality. The regal representation gives gravitas.
'The shepherd's swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each may morning' - Symbolic of Spring, new beginnings, fresh starts.
Shared writing of first PEE:
Marlowe's divine depiction of the celestial imagery insinuates transcendence of his love over normality. This intimates the regal representation of their love which gives their love gravitas;
"Our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;"
The vivid imagery of the 'buckles of the purest gold' emphasizes the pastoral conventions of the poem. Specifically, 'purest' relates to his lover's innocence and purity of self. The 'pretty lambs' provide an eschatological reference to Jesus and his purity also. Lambs also suggest new life as they are a symbol of Spring and new beginnings. Marlowe's representation of the lovers goes beyond metaphysical; he presents much imagery of a holy or celestial form within this pastoral poem.
