The Flea by John Donne The situation described in the poem is the narrator trying to persuade his girlfriend to sleep with him. Bearing in mind the social context of the poem, the girl is going to need quite a lot of persuading. This is where the flea comes in. The idea of sex being like a flea is sustained throughout the poem thus making it a sustained metaphor. In the sixteen hundreds, fleas were just a common fact of life. Everybody had them, even rich people. I think it is quite
point out, this borrows from a notion presented by Ovid that the mixing of bloods occurs during sexual intercourse. When Donne states that such an event is not “A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead” he is saying that there is no need to cast judgment on the mingling that has occurred. “Loss of maidenhead” implies losing virginity, so the speaker is telling the lady that she should not feel any guilt over such a thing. This would certainly contradict the cultural standards of the time, yet Donne

For example, the rhyming of “this” to “is” and “said” to “maidenhead,” are expected and somewhat easy.

In order to portray personal beliefs through satire, the use of literary devices, elements, and techniques can include subtle hints regarding a much larger and/or serious matter.

Since the beginning of time, one of the most captivating and yet elusive of all emotions has been love. Back in the 17th century most male poets wrote about woman's beauty, while others romanticized lustful inclinations in poetry. The cliché "love at first sight," is too often idealized to be the epitome of "true love"; most poets will uphold to the prior statement such as John Donne and Andrew Marvell. In John Donne's "The Flea" Donne expresses his love for a woman without having touched her. On

better ended by their hate than death Several characters can be quoted referencing Death as Juliet's lover including Juliet herself. When speaking to the Nurse she says, "Come, cords, come Nurse, I'll to my wedding bed, and death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!"(3.2.137-138). In those lines she basically says Death will marry her and take her maidenhood. Juliet's own father also personifies Death as Juliet's husband. One instance is when Capulet says to Friar Laurence, "Death is my son-in-law, Death
Love and religion are two of the most common topics of poetry. Many of Donne’s poems are on one of these two very different topics, his works are connected through the continuous use of devices such as allusion, metaphor, and pun; providing a bond for each poem, yet a different context for each one. “The Flea,” “Holy Sonnet VII,” and “A Hymn to God the Father” each have distinct themes, but find common ground by the use of common literary devices. “The Flea” is a carnal poem where the speaker tries

In my opinion, the speaker uses the flea as a sign for him and his love to be romantic and to pursue her to give him more of her. The speaker wants his love to view the flea
Humans throughout history have constantly struggled in defining love, sex, and morality. Early texts such as Medea and Sappho introduce themes in relation to love, sex, and morality. For example, love can provoke emotions in their rawest form, evidently shown in both texts, as Medea murders for her lost love and Sappho mourns and rejoices over hers. In regards to sex, purity is a consistent theme, shown when Medea rages over her soiled marriage bed and Sappho over her lost virginity. As for morality
Fleas were a popular subject of poetry in the Renaissance Era because poets were fascinated by the insects fearlessness and were inspired, soon becoming a popular subject among poets (Andy). Since the seventeenth century, the idea of “mingling of the blood” was an idea that Donne was interested, realizing that the courageous, tiny creature has drawn both of his blood and his mistress's blood which is something the woman wouldn't
