"The Flea"

John Donne is describing a common bond between two lovers. I believe the flea represents a child maybe, because the author claims the flea was innocent. The wife kills the flea because other people don't like it and it may be because the child happened before the marriage. So, we have this idea of the parents not 1) liking the marriage 2) liking this "flea". Since the flea is small and "innocent" it could be interrupted as a child or that of child essence. :D

I don't feel that I can really interrupt poetry very well... I am not sure that I did this correctly. I am sorry.
