We started the course with Metaphysical Poets. Before course I didn't have any information about these poets.
Firstly, I've learned characteristics of 17th literature period and compared them with Elizabethan Age. I could see that love was more physical,not platonic and tangible. Poems adressed to reasons. We couldn't see inconstancy in there. They mixed logic and feelings in love.
Secondly, we talked about John Donne and his poem “The Flea”. He was the great representer of the metaphysical poets. The poem was an interesting for me. When you think about it deeply, you can realize the deep meaning. He tried to depict love with flea. He established a mutual relation between love and flea.
To sum up, this period is more rational than the others as I see it. Because lovers didn't feel much pain. Love was mutual and philosophical.
