1. People in the 1500/1600's were very conservative. People did not believe in sex before marriage. People were also much more religious, and they did not question it as much as people do today.
2. The speaker in this poem wants to have sex with the woman. He says that the flea had bitten her, adn in the end, did more with the woman than he had himself.
3. The risks for the speaker's lover is that because it is the 1500/1600's it was frowned upon for people to have sex before marriage, and the two were not married. Also it would have been the woman to be punished, had anyone found out.
4. The speaker is trying to say when the woman kills the flea and in end saying no to what the speakers wants. He uses this to his advantage by saying she is afraid, hence why she killed the bug, and fefused him
5. It appears as if she wanted help, or someone with her, she could have gotten it. Showing that maybe, although she is refusing him, she does want to be there with him, and may be playing along with him.
