ESSAY ON: Metaphor and Meaning in John Donne’s “The Flea”

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: This 5 page report discusses John Donne’s poem “The Flea.” Donne (1572-1631), English poet, writer, and clergyman, has come to be considered as the greatest of the metaphysical poets and one of the greatest writers of the poetry of love. Donne belonged to a group of writers for whom personal passion was more important than social prominence, and whose writing reflected the gender bias of their century. Donne’s use of metaphor and language establish the ways in which he sees connections, romantic and meaningful, in even the most commonplace of circumstances. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
