The Flea

1)
Preceding the first line of the poem, a flea had taken blood from two lovers and didn't leave the room. Between the first and second stanzas, the speaker trys to seduce his lover using the flea as a symbol of their love. Between the second and third, his motive was unclear, or unaffective on his lover and he resorts to the blunt truth: he's gon' tap dat. She squashes the flea and says, "there, now we're no weaker than before!"

2)
The speaker feels she should've respected his analogy better. His motive was to make her feel more in love with him and then reward him with sexual play. However, she seems to look the other way and this makes him feel insignificant, or unimportant, or maybe just plain hurt.

3)
"Look at this flea
it bit me, and then it bit you
and now we are one inside this flea.
See, look at him, he's so happy right now
because we're inside him mingling.
We should be like that!"

I think that has pleanty of logic. Love is strange game in which you can cheat the ways of physics in order to achive some spiritual gain. You can't litterally mix two people, but two people in love can be one.

4)
I really don't know the answer to this question...

The parent's grudge is against her taking part in sexual intercourse?
She killed their love and...two other things...and those are the sins...?

5)
Basically by killing the flea, she says it doesn't make them any less in love. Of course he just went out on a limb trying to tell her how important this flea is. He does agree the flea didn't litterally make them more in love, but his reaction is, "wow thanks for taking what i said into deep consideration and thank you for respecting that." (sarcasm)

6)
Bom chicka wow wow, nooky, whoopee, bonking, boinking, boffing, a roll in the hay, quickie, coitus...
Or maybe he got pissed off that she didn't respect his creativity and left.

7)
I vote this one doesn't count...
