The Flea -By: John Donne

The flea is a representation of the love between the narrator and her lover. It's about relating how a flea will takes blood from two people and their blood mingles together; two people are in love with each other and the girl has given up her virginity to her lover in a sign of their love and a long lasting relationship. The second stanza it talks about how they are to be married even if the parents are not happy about it and they have to live a monastic life. I'm not quite sure about the last stanza except for the last line means to me that if the flea/love dies then the narrator would die.
