The flee was wrote by England famous writer John Donne The claim of love---The feeling of reading flea The flea was wrote by England famous writer John Donne,leading English poet of the Metaphysical school and dean of St.Paul’s Cathedral,London(1621–31).Donne is often considered the greatest love poet in the English language.He is also noted for his religious verse and treatises and for his sermons,which rank among the best of the 17th century.The theme of the flea is about love and in the poem.The hero try his best to persuade his lover to make love with him.The speaker tells his beloved to look at the flea before them and to note―how little‖is that thing that she denies him.For the flea,he says,has sucked first his blood,then her blood,so that now,inside the flea,they are mingled;and that mingling cannot be called―sin,or shame,or loss of maidenhead.‖The flea has joined them together in a way that,―alas,is more than we would do.‖As his beloved moves to kill the flea,the speaker stays her hand,asking her to spa re the three lives in the flea:his life,her life,and the flea’s own life.In the flea,he says,where their blood is mingled,they are almost married—no,more than married—and the flea is their marriage bed and marriage temple mixed into one.Though their parents grudge their romance and though she will not make love to him,they are nevertheless united and cloistered in the living walls of the flea.She is apt to kill him,he says,but he asks that she not kill herself by killing the flea that contains her blood;he says that to kill the flea would be sacrilege,―three sins in killing three.‖―Cruel and sudden,‖the speaker calls his lover,who has now killed the flea,―purpling‖her fingernail with the―blood of innocence.‖The speaker asks his lover wh at the flea’s sin was,other than having sucked from each of them a drop of blood.He says that his lover replies that neither of them is less noble for having killed the flea.It is true,he says,and it is this very fact that proves that her fears are fa lse:If she were to sleep with him(―yield to me‖),she would lose no more honor than she lost when she killed the flea.In this poem,the"I"of the poem is lying in bed with his lover,and trying to get her to give her virginity to him.While lying there,he notices a flea,which has obviously bitten them both.Since the 17-century idea was of sex as a"mingling of the blood",he realises that by mixing their bloods together in its body,the flea has done what she didn’t dare to do.Then,he argues,since the flea has done it,why shouldn’t they?To back up his argument,he refers to the marriage ceremony,which states that"man and woman shall be one flesh".He argues that since they have mingled their bloods and are therefore"one blood",they are practically"one flesh"and are therefore married!The claim of love---The feeling of reading flea The flea was wrote by England famous writer John Donne,leading English poet of the Metaphysical school
