John Donne And Metaphors

John Donne And Metaphors

The use of metaphors can greatly influence the effectiveness of an author’s message, when used correctly.  John Donne turns this tool into an art form in his poetry as he weaves absurd relationships between two or more seemingly unrelated ideas.  Not only does this make his poems much more entertaining but it also helps to express his ideas in a very vivid manner.  This helps the reader to relate to and more fully understand the complexity of the feelings being expressed.
	One good example of Donne’s use of absurd metaphors is in the poem entitled “The Flea”.  In this poem the flea is used in a humorous matter in order to down play the female’s reluctance to give up her virginity.  In lines 1 and 2 Donne begins by telling the female how unimportant her virginity is.  In order to back this up he continues by presenting the first, and main, metaphor that the flea is sex between these two lovers.  At first this seems absurd but it is made to work by Donne laying out plainly how he came to the conclusion that the flea is the same as sex.  In line
