John donnes poem entitled flea insinuates a man persuading a virgin to have sex with him because of moral obligations. He uses religious beliefs to make his argument seem more legitimate, such as the use of the number three as in the holy trinity as well as the Christian belief that two are made one once they have partaken in the act of sex. Donne states in his poem that both parties have been bitten by the same flea which sucked their blood so now because of this flea they are basically already united as one so having sex only makes sense- it is what god wants in the speakers eyes. Donne also uses the paradox of comparing sex to a flea to elaborate on the fact that a flea is common and so is sex so therefore, it's not a big deal. He uses these techniques a means of persuasion to fulfill his desire to have sex with this woman.
