Fleas were a popular topic of poetry in the Renaissance era because poets were fascinated by the courage of insects and were inspired by them, soon becoming a popular topic among poets ( Andy). Since the seventeenth century, the idea of ​​"blood mixing" was an idea that interested Donne, realizing that the brave, tiny creature had taken both his blood and that of his lover, something the woman would not dare do. even to herself. As shown through analogy, tone, and symbolism, John Donne states that there is no sin in being intimate despite marriage and that seduction is a powerful weapon. Donne argues that since the flea bit her, why shouldn't they be able to? have sex? To defend his thesis and persuade it, he refers to the marriage ceremony which states that “man and woman will be one flesh” (SH Hooke). Challenge the fact that they mixed their blood and therefore they are one and married. The analogy of the poem concerns the Christian religion. It is a sin to have sex before marriage according to Joley Eytel, but from Donne's point of view there is no sin in having sex regardless of marriage. Donne also compares his life and that of his lover to the death of the flea when he expresses, “for the death of this flea has taken your life” (line 27). When the women killed the flea with its “purple” nail, for Donne, in a certain sense he was killing both, the real sin (19). Not only that, but also, breaking the religious bond... middle of paper... in case it is him, his lover and the flea. In other words, Donne uses analogy, tone, and symbolism to express his inner feelings about religion, humiliating him by using religion to get what he likes, and revealing that it is not a sin to engage in a sexual act. But the real sin in his situation is rather killing the flea because inside this living being their blood binds. The blood bond is a representation of marriage and by killing the flea, the woman would break their bond, also committing murder. Women convinces these women to put aside the misconceptions that people have believed for many years when it comes to sex, using religion to convey the idea that it would be atheistic for them not to have intimate relationships..
