Comment on Marvell’s treatment of nature in
‘The Garden’.
The Garden by Andrew Marvell is a unique poem which is
romantic in its expression, metaphysical in its word-game, and classical in its
music. It is romantic because it is about the nature in subject and theme, and
it is the expression of the poet's personal and emotional feelings about life
in the nature (and society).
Its style is metaphysical because it uses the conceit,
forceful argument, allusions (references) from sources like the Bible, myths
and metaphysical philosophies. And it is a classical poem in its form because
the stanzas, rhythm, rhyme and word-choice is like in classical poetry
(carefully perfected form, and a language different from the ordinary). The
theme is that the garden (which is the symbol of life in nature) is the perfect
place for physical, mental and spiritual comfort and satisfaction, unlike the
society where pleasure is false and temporary.
The poet has finally found the nature and
realized its value; he claims that the nature is the only true place for
complete luxury. 'The Garden' is a unique metaphysical poem which is Romantic
in its subject matter and also contains classical elements in its diction,
meter and structure. The poem is written in heroic couplet, which deals with
the poet’s experience of feelings and ideas about the garden that represents
the nature. The poet begins by comparing the nature with society and social
life and criticizing the society and ‘busy’ worldly life.............................................................................................................................................
