A conticedent is an extended metaphor as an organizing device. In John Donne's poem the flea the conceit is that the narrator is closer to the flea than he is to his lover. Foster refers to a primary meaning and example behind this in this story that it is “telling”. There is also a secondary meaning and example of this in the story The Flea that is troughs all the metaphorical meanings and the implications in the story. In the poem the narrator of the story is easily thought to be a female thought to be sleeping with a man. When she is lying with the man the man notices a flea, which has bitten both the man and the woman. The man realizes that because the flea had bitten them both that the man and the woman had been sexed together by the

The speaker indulges in visual imagery throughout the poem to depict the way he feels about himself and the woman, as well as describe the creatures that he compares himself to. The speaker creates this hurt and distrustful attitude when he describes the creatures he compares himself with that have been hurt before and are cautious around the same things that hurt them. The mouse who escaped a trap once before is now distrustful of the "trustless bait" and the "scorched fly", who escaped flames, "Will hardly come to play again with fire". The speaker uses these analogies to describe himself and the way he feels about his relationship with the woman, hurt and cautious.
He is separated from her and winds up on a raft with a black man and a cat. “After a moment, lying there in the
Donne however, wrote “The Flea” in the first person giving the writing a comical twist as the speaker portrayed the aggressor, who metaphorically used the bite of the flea to defend his case to promote promiscuity. John Donne applied a consistent rhyme scheme using frequent assonance in each stanza which consisted of an iambic tetrameter followed by an iambic pentameter projecting the free willing mindset of the aggressor (Lorcher 2012). The speaker’s repeated use of ‘mark’ and ‘suck’ rhetorically reinforced the strength of his persuasiveness (Lorcher
The first world war saw a lot of refusal towards the war effort by men which made the government afraid due to the futile and indiscriminate slaughter of the British army at the battle of the Somme in 1916 where General Haig's tactics failed to show success which resulted in Britain losing a vast majority of soldiers by 1916. Therefore the government feared that they might lose World War one as well because there a lot of casualties which needed to be replaced and many men were becoming antisocial and refused to join the war, these people were known as conscientious objector or short for C.Os. Some C.Os did not want to fight in the war but were keen to do there bit in the war, so they were willing to help out in weapon factories and go to
Eunice starts to talk about an event involving werewolves, but shortly in the story Mrs. Haley realizes that the story is just a cover up that humans commit murder. Mrs. Haley is still very scared when she sees Bob, from the filling station, on the side of the road. He had obviously been in some kind of accident because his leg was all bloody and his motorcycle was tipped over. He looks like he needs help very badly so Mrs. Haley pulls over. Before they get out of the car to help Bob, Eunice tells Mrs. Haley that “she” is a man.
The Flea and To His Coy Mistress are two poems written by poets living during the Renaissance Period. To His Coy Mistress was written by Andrew Marvell and The Flea was written by John Donne. Both of these poets were well-educated 'metaphysical poets', and these poems illustrate metaphysical concerns, highly abstract and theoretical ideas, that the poets would have been interested in. Both poems are based around the same idea of trying to reason with a 'mistress' as to why they should give up their virginity to the poet.
As in the other stanzas, this arranges its four supporting arguments into three couplets and a triplet by rhyme. However, whereas the first stanza loosely held the ideas to couplets, the second shows more organization in thought. This further structure is necessary to support the conceit of the flea as a holy church. The support for this idea is arranged into the following four sub-argument: one, do not kill the flea, because we have conceived within it; two, thus, the flea is like a “marriage bed,” and by extension, a “marriage temple”; three, despite your parents’ and your concerns, that’s the way it is; and four, if you kill the flea, you commit three sins – killing me, killing yourself, and sacrilege by violating the sanctity of the marriage temple. Note that Donne does present an argument to seduce his beloved in this stanza. His words are filled solely with reverence and concern for the flea. Through this, we can see the earnestness and seriousness of the passion he has for his beloved: the sanctity of their relationship – even their surrogate relationship within the flea – is sacred to him.

Following a unique poetic language of the Renaissance, John Donne's The Flea' is a poem illustrating the metaphor of a flea to represent the sexual act and relations between a man and woman.
