Abstract
- The article offers poetry criticism of Andrew Marvell's poem "The Nymph Complaining for the Death of her Fawn." It discusses the challenges of interpreting Marvell's poems, characterized by indecipherability and ambiguities, and how Marvell's writing style engages readers as active collaborators in the interpretation process. It also explores the poem's use of literary conventions, imagery, and metaphors related to the hunt, love, and spirituality.
