The Anti-Platonic love in To the Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvel

Plutonic love refers to a kind of love that has no relationship with the sexuality that is completely free of it especially in poetry. In Plato’s dialogue the Symposium it has been examined that how love began and how it has evolved—both sexually andnon-sexually. One is a Vulgar Eros is nothing but mere material attraction towards a beautiful body for physical pleasure and reproduction, which Plato does notagree. Divine Eros, on the other side, begins the journey from physical attraction i.e. attraction towards beautiful form or body but transcends gradually to love for Supreme Beauty. Based on this theory this research tries to show the theme ofANTI- Platonic in the selected carpe diem poem and also it deals with examining people’s life, history and social movement. Furthermore; it tries to shed light on the Anti-Platonic love that Marvel has it done through symbols and other literary devices in the frame of his works.
