... Poetry Assignment There are 2 Poems about Seduction that we can compare. One is called 'The Seduction' written by Eileen McAuley. It is about the seduction of a fifteen year old girl by a teenage boy, he has sex with her but ends the romance there leaving the girl pregnant and without help. It uses the scene of the river and the Birkenhead Docks to create a very sleazy and un-romantic atmosphere. The poem also shows the aftermath of the seduction and the effect that it has on the now pregnant girl. The other Poem is called 'To His Coy Mistress' written by Andrew Marvell in 1681. It is about a man trying to seduce a girl presumably for sex but through words describing his endless love for her. It is all about love, lust, passion and how time is running out for them together. Unlike in the poem 'The Seduction'
