The Flea John Donne
“The Flea” by John Donne Donne’s poem “The Flea” is about a man trying to convince a woman to have sex with him. As he is convincing the woman he compares the loss of the woman’s virginity to a flea since the flea has already been intimate with both his and her body and now their blood mingles within the flea. Not only is the speaker saying basically the woman has already had sex in a way, he’s also trying to show her how insignificant sex really is by using the flea as an example. At the end of the day no one but the two of them noticed the flea and knew of its existence. In the last poem the woman decides to kill the flea and states that nothing has been changed by her actions and it remains equally unknown that she has killed such a

    Compare the Ways Poets Present Relationships in ‘Les Grands Seigneurs’ and in 'My Last Duchess'

    One feature that is common to both poems is the presence of male dominance. ‘Les Grands Seigneurs’ presents the idea of male dominance in the final stanza of the poem, where the speaker remarks on how her role as a wife now that she is married: “I became (yes overnight) a toy, a plaything, little woman, Wife, a bit of fluff”, in this quotation a list of metaphors have been used to display the speaker’s transformation from a ‘queen’, who was worshiped by men to ‘a bit of fluff’, who is forced to obey by her husband’s orders. The images in the list appear to be diminishing in value; the speaker starts by comparing her status with a toy, however by the end of the list it has become ‘a bit of fluff’, which suggests that this imagery reflects how marriage has diminished her value and attraction. Moreover, the imagery of the wife being a ‘plaything’ relates to the concept of male domination, as it suggests that in her husband’s eyes she is nothing more than a possession, a ‘plaything’, belonging to her husband. Furthermore, the quotation “My husband clicked his fingers, called my bluff” adds to the theme of male domination as it displays how she has no control over the situation. The image of the husband clicking his fingers to signal his wife causes the speaker’s role as a wife seem almost synonymous to a slave; she is powerless to his command.…

    Gwen Harwood Father And Child Analysis

    The diptych poem “Father and Child” describes the event that changes the lives of a father and child forever, and in the latter half, reflects upon how this event shaped their views and attitudes towards the gruesome subject of death. The first part of the poem, “Barn Owl” tells the tale of the persona, a small child that we are led to believe is female through the use of language, who is transformed from ‘innocent’, to ‘a horny fiend’ and finally to ‘afraid’. This transformation is also illustrated by the use of progressive actions in each stanza; “I…

    Andrew Marvell's 'To The Virgins To Make Much Of Time'

    Often in poetry writers use faulty arguments arguing a claim over invalid and deceiving information. This creates more of a dramatic and unrealistic appeal, but brings more emphasis and expression to their writing. There are many different arguments that could be used the highlight the meaning in poetry. In Andrew Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress,” and Roberts Herrick’s “To the Virgins to Make Much of Time” the writer reflects his faultiness by using scare tactics, band wagon appeals, and hasty generalizations.…

    Ella

    Throughout Grahn’s poem, feminine characterization is portrayed through her constant connection and linkage to those similar actions of a broken down mother, and a common rattlesnake. Grahn introduces such word play with an exclamation that “She’s a copperhead waitress, tired and sharp-worded”/ (line one) in order to give the reader the fairly elaborate picture of Ella. Grahn familiarizes the reader with the looks of Ella being a tough, proud, fierce, redheaded waitress, who would do anything to protect her young; much like a rattlesnake would, therefore, introducing the idea that the common woman is much like a rattlesnake. Grahn uses a great deal of imagery words to attempt to persuade the reader that everyday women are as tough and aggressive as a rattlesnake in such that “She keeps her mind the way men keep a knife” (line seven) implying that the common worn out woman is still as sharp as can be and demands the respect she may not continuously get. For the reason being that neither women have the satisfactory lives they wish for, they portray their wants and feelings onto the animal they feel fits them best.…

    How Is the Story Told in Cousin Kate?

    The second stanza begins- “He lured me into his palace home”, this gives the reader the impression that she was fooled into an affair. The word ‘lured’ makes the great lord seem a predator and the narrator his prey. This could have a sexual meaning behind it. “To lead a shameless shameful life”, this oxymoron has a more obvious sexual meaning behind it. The words ‘shameless’ and ‘shameful’ conflict making this an oxymoron. This could mean that it was shameless for her enjoyment of the sexual act but it was in fact in real life shameful. She is objectified through the quote “He wore me like a silken knot; he changed me like a glove”. This shows his lack of interest for her as a person, he only used her for sexual intentions, and ‘changed her’ when he felt like it. This quote could also be a sexual innuendo. “An unclean thing, who might have been a dove”. This shows how her innocence and purity is gone and she is now unclean, she has lost her chance to be pure because of her deeds with this great lord.…

    John Coltrane

    Jazz, taking its roots in African American folk music, has evolved, metamorphosed, and transposed itself over the last century to become a truly American art form. More than any other type of music, it places special emphasis on innovative individual interpretation. Instead of relying on a written score, the musician improvises. For each specific period or style through which jazz has gone through over the past seventy years, there is almost always a single person who can be credited with the evolution of that sound. From Thelonius Monk, and his bebop, to Miles Davis' cool jazz, from Dizzy Gillespie's big band to John Coltrane's free jazz; America's music has been developed, and refined countless times through individual experimentation and innovation. One of the most influential musicians in the development of modern jazz is John Coltrane. In this paper, I examine the way in which Coltrane's musical innovations were related to the music of the jazz greats of his era and to the tribulations and tragedies of his life.…

    Tone of "Her Kind"

    Her use of syntax in the poem is done in a very clever manner. The lines of the poem are short and almost all contain commas. These commas are a part of the syntax because they contribute to the sentence structure. They split up each line into two halves, and it almost seems like the commas are acting as sighs from the author showing her boredom; “I have gone out, a possessed witch.” There is no enthusiasm in the poem because of the topic of the poem and its commas. These commas also help to set a pace for the reader to read the poem. For example, when one reads “dreaming evil, I have done my hitch,” he will read this slowly because of the comma in the middle of the line. This comma slows down the readers pace and allows for Sexton’s boredom to come through.…

    Comparing Poems 'Whoso List To Hunt And The Flea'

    Personification is the bringing to life of an inanimate object in which Donne uses in order to bring the flea to life. The flea is a symbol of their two bodies coming together because the flea bit him and then her. The mixing of their blood is used as a tool for the man to let the woman know that she is no longer a part of maidenhood. This meaning that the woman, and the man, are both no longer sexually innocent; Their bloods have mingled together inside the flea. Donne, known for his use of the sacred and profane, uses this method throughout the poem. He does this by taking the flea, a putrid parasite, and using it to portray the lovely and happy emotion and feeling of love. The love serves as the sacred, which is pure, and the flea functions as the profane, the unholy and impure. Donne uses the metaphor that the flea holds onto its own life, her life, and his life. This is a direct metaphor to the creation of a new being, meaning that with their bloods mixing inside of the flea, they have a “flea baby.” John Donne uses rhyming couplets throughout his poem in his iambic pentameter. The narrator does indeed get lucky with the woman. Even though the storyteller uses a flea to persuade the lady, during the time that the piece was composed, people were not squeamish when it came to tiny bugs. Back then, it was more than likely…

    The Flea Tone

    John Donne’s ‘The Flea’ is a metaphysical love poem that takes the usage of a hilarious erotic narrative. The main theme of the poem is seduction that is shown using a persuasive vanity of a meek flea. The extremely original symbol of the flea is utilized to show unconventionally that both lovers are already adjoined in church and God’s eyes since the flea had bite off their bodies and intermingled with their blood. The tone used in the poem is extremely dramatic, ironic and farcically amusing. The creative and unorthodox speaker provides arguments of philosophical and theological that rest in the irrational authority that their merger has already been completed in the flea's little body (Gioia, 2011).…

    Louse Hunting

    In Isaac Rosenberg's poem "Louse Hunting," he describes a battle being fought by each individual soldier, not on the battlefield, but on the their own bodies. The enemy was head lice and there was no way of stopping them. After months of being on the front lines the soldiers found themselves infested with vermin that nearly drove them mad. The poem itself has a slight comical tone, but at the same time a sense of despair and a much deeper meaning. In the trenches the soldiers had security and had a stronger sense of control, but outside of the trenches they didn't have any control. The lice symbolized this. Each individual soldier was small and insignificant in comparison with the war, but together they were strong. One insect didn't make an impact but eventually the soldiers became infested by the lice and had no control or ability to stop them. Rosenberg's diction and connotation strongly influenced how head lice was a threat to the mentally of the soldiers. One of the phrases he uses to describe the lice is "verminous brood."…

    John Donne was born in Bread Street, London in 1572 to a prosperous Roman Catholic family - a precarious thing at a time when anti-Catholic sentiment was rife in England. His father, John Donne, was a well-to-do ironmonger and citizen of London. Donne's father died suddenly in 1576, and left the three children to be raised by their mother, Elizabeth, who was the daughter of epigrammatist and playwright John Heywood and a relative of Sir Thomas More.

    John Donne Death Be Not Proud

    In "Death, be not Proud," author John Donne writes down his thoughts pertaining to death. The message of this poem is that Christians, after death, will live eternally with Christ, thus defeating death. Donne uses this argument to state the fact that death should not be proud because Christ has overcome it by resurrecting from the dead. In essence, Donne wanted to encourage believers to not fear death because of the hope that heaven provides.…
