Abstract
This article delves into the thematic exploration of temporality in Christopher
Marlowe's poetry, particularly focusing on his adept use of the "Carpe Diem" motif.
Marlowe, a renowned Elizabethan playwright and poet, masterfully weaves the concept
of seizing the day into his works, urging readers to embrace the present moment and
live life to the fullest. Through close analysis of select poems such as "The Passionate
Shepherd to His Love" and "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd," this study highlights
Marlowe's intricate manipulation of language and imagery to evoke a sense of urgency
and impermanence. Additionally, it examines the socio-historical context of Marlowe's
era and its influence on his portrayal of time and mortality. By engaging with
Marlowe's "Carpe Diem" poetry, readers gain insight into the enduring relevance of his
works and their timeless appeal.
