Which TWO lines in this excerpt suggest the physical union of the lovers?
Anestetic [448]

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.

Ophelia is a character of great interest and debate among literary scholars. Why? Select all that apply.
Firlakuza [10]
Her conflict with Hamlet raises gender role issues - because Hamlet is one amongst the numerous those that outline Ophelia by her sexuality. She has no management over her body, her relationships, or her selections throughout the story.
Her beauty and charm could be a model of feminine stereotype - fully tractable and passive; she refuses to fight back once she extremely has to.
