Apollonian vs. Dionysian in “The Flea”
“The Flea” by John Donne is perhaps simply the seventeenth century’s version of a commonplace pick-up line. ... “The Flea” by Donne creates a poetic tension between the flea and abstinence from sex that reflects the Apollonian and Dionysian duality. The Apollonian and Dionysian were borrowed from the Greek gods Apollo, god of the sun, and Dionysus, god of wine and sex. According to Friedrich Nietzsche, “Through Apollo and Dionysus, the two art-deities of the Greeks, we come to recognize that in the Greek world there exists a sharp opposition, in origin and aims, between the Apollonian art of structure, and the non-plastic, Dionysian, art of music”(Nietzsche 1).
