This document summarizes a cultural study on the poems "To His Coy Mistress" and other poems. It discusses how literature can reflect society, analyzing how "To His Coy Mistress" addresses a shy beloved while avoiding something deeper. It also examines how Marvell's "London" depicts the diseased body of London alongside its beautiful coat, and whether the poet saw or was unaware of London's real face described in the cries of its people. The document considers the class of the poet and whether their personal views shape what they write and choose to hide. It contrasts reality versus imagination in literature and concludes that while literature takes ideas from society, the poet adds their own perspectives and not all works perfectly reflect society.
