The flea
By John Donne


Analysis of the poem:

             The Flea is a remarkable metaphysical poem of John Donne he makes use of a biological image of the flea for the expertion of the theme of love. It is an exceptional image to deal with the theme of love. Donne avoids the image of  the flea to deal with the theme of love the poem is addresed by the lover to his beloved. The lover expresis love, purposes to her and she refuses it. Because of her sense of sin, shame and maidenhood. She does not respond to her lover because she considers it a matter of sin and shame it is because of her respond to her lover because of her refusal that the lover gives example of the Flea. The flea has first suck his blood, know it suck's her blood and saw their bloods have mingled that. Flea it is nigher nor shame. The lover treys to convinces her that there more than married in the living wall of that flea. That flea is now there marriage bed and also the marriage church.

               Listening to such a speech of the lover, the lady tries to kill that flea and again the lover tries to convinces her not to kill that flea her requests her not make her nails purple in the blood of that flea. The reason is it will be a seen of killing her self. The lover wants her not to comite a dengerious of seen of self murder. she does not follow the request of that lover kills the flea.

               The third stanza of a poem is given to convinces her that all her fears are groundless both became one in that flea and yet it was not is sin or shame the same way if she accept this purposeless it will not be sin or shame the lover is of the opinion that by accepting his purposal, she will bring honer to her self the lover wans her to realized that accepting purposal is not the loss of honor on the contrary it bring honor to a woman so she shod part with her fear, sense of sin and shame.
