Many poems have been written about the lives of woman and struggle of love they went through. Two of them are "To His Coy Mistress" written by Andrew Marvell and Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess." There are some similarities, as well as differences in their attitude toward women. "To His Coy Mistress" values women and their love they give, while "My Last Duchess" totally degrades the role of women in society.
"To His Coy Mistress" is an invitation to love, while "My Last Duchess" degrades them. In Marvell's poem, he expresses his love by saying, "Lady, you deserve this state, Nor would I love at lower rate" (Lines 19-20). This shows that he do and give anything for her love.
