The correct answers are
[<u>(b.) And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;]
</u>
<u>Thou know'st that this cannot be said</u>
and
[(d.) And pampered swells with one blood made of two;
And this, alas, is more than we would do.]
In this poem, the flea clearly symbolizes their love.
In the answer (b.), their bloods are mixed in this flea and this could metaphorically signify mixing their bodily fluids while engaging in intercourse.
In the answer (d.), it is clear that the speaker is denied intercourse with this woman and extends his argument from the sentence (b.) that their bloods mixed in the flee signify their physical union and that, despite what the society might suggest about her loss of virginity, there is nothing shameful about this act.
Ani says that Dan Deluca wrote an article that contradicts his stance of the Nobel being well deserved at times, the two sentences of said article that show this kind of contradiction are:
Many of Dylan’s most fervently loved songs—some of which actually are love songs—date from the 1960s, and his being honored at age 75 can be seen as an ultimate affirmation for the baby boomer generation.
and
And it’s a good thing [his lyrics] have been published, because if you’ve gone to see the famously sneering and syllable-garbling Dylan play live in recent years, you probably couldn’t understand a word he was singing.
this is because they say that the Nobel might be a product of simple nostalgia and they undermine Dylan as an artist, plus these seem to not be quotes from detractors but something Dan DeLuca is saying himself
<span>“Through the Tunnel” is a coming-of-age story of
Jerry, who wants to do what the other grown-up men can do, and his mother,
who does not want to look too ‘possessive nor lacking in devotion’ knowing that
her son is going through adolescence. Swimming through the tunnel is Jerry’s
way to establish his identity or go through character adjustments. From the New
York Times article “Doris Lessing Wins Nobel Prize in Literature”, it can be
noted that Doris Lessing is a writer described as <span>“that
epicist of the female experience, who with skepticism, fire and visionary power…”
by the Swedish academy. Her struggle when she was 15-year-old and a runaway
from home must have also reflected the struggle of Jerry proving that he can
swim through the tunnel. </span></span>
