1.Why does the poet say that "this cannot be said
a sin,or shame,or loss of maidenhead"?
The speaker tells his beloved to look at the flea before them and to note "how little" is that thing that she denies him.For the flea,he says,has sucked first his blood,then her blood,so that now,inside the flea,they are mingled; and that mingling cannot be called "sin,or shame,or loss of maidenhead." The flea has joined them together in a way that,"alas,is more than we would do."
2.What do you think is the addressee's
parents' attitude toward the poet's wooing?
The addressee's parents' attitude are against him.(...Though parents grudge...)
3.What is the real purpose of the poet to say
that in killing the flea "thou" are actually killing three
lives?
He compares the killing of the flea to murder.It would be “three sins in killing three” (l.18) since he and his lover would be killed within the flea if she were to follow her natural tendency to dispose of the insect.He even states that the act of killing the flea would be “sacrilege”.This is a term that is generally applied to acts that go against religion.If the lover denies the fact that their blood,and therefore their lives,are contained within the flea,it is similar to committing an irreligious act.This would seem to make the reverse,to acknowledge their closeness within the flea,compatible with religion.To acknowledge this closeness is also to acknowledge that it is allowable,which could lead to the conclusion that Donne wishes his lover to arrive at:she should give in to his desires because there is nothing wrong with the intimate mingling of two people.
