The Flea is a poem which belongs to metaphysical poetry. The poem is a very erotic poem that the male speaker persuades his lover to give him her virginity. The concept of image is very important here as this poem is metaphysical poetry. Metaphysical poetry uses a variety of amazing and a bit strange images, and although they are drawn in real life, they are drawn very subtly, requiring us to have great imagination and intellectual challenges. Fleas are images and objects that can be easily found in everyday life, as we have met at least once in our lives. We can think of fleas as simply pests that suck blood, but in this poem, the image of the flea is seen differently.
