Allusion Hamlet- Compounded it with dust, where to tis kin Hamlet- Hide fox, and all after! Irony Hamlet- a king may go a process through the guts of a beggar. Hamlet- That I can keep your counsel and not mine own Simile Laertes-O heavens, is't possible a young maid's wits should be as mortal as an old man's life? Hamlet- He keeps them like an ape an apple in the corner of his jaw, first mouthed, to be last swallowed. King- Whose whisper o'er the world's diameter, as level as the cannon to his blank King- O, my dear Gertrude, this, like to a murdering piece, in may places gives me superfluous death Hamlet- Go to their graves like beds Metaphor Hamlet- When he needs what you have gleaned, it is but squeezing you, and, sponge, you shall be dry again. Queen- O'er whom his very madness, like some are among a mineral of metals base Hamlet- The king is a thing. Personification King- The sun no sooner shall the mountains touch Laertes- That drop of blood that's calm proclaims me bastard, cries "cuckold" to my father, brands the harlot even here between the chaste unsmirched brow of my true mother. Queen- So full of artless jealousy is guilt, it spills itself in fearing to be split. Queen- One woe doth tread upon another's heel, so fast they follow. Alliteration Ophelia- We know what we are but know not what we may be King- Diseases desperate grown by desperate appliance are relieved or not at all. King- We should do when we would; for this "would" changes Ophelia- Hey non nonny, nonny, hey nonny Allusion Ophelia- They say the owl was a baker's daughter Hyperbole King- His liberty is full of threats to all- to you yourself, to us, to everyone. Hamlet- But two months dead... a little month... within a month Hamlet- Let me not burst in ignorance. Imagery King- The bark is ready, and the wind at help, th'associates tend, and evrything is bent for England. Laertes- By heaven, thy madness shall be paid with weight till our scale turn thy beam. Symbolism Horatio- I have words to speak in thine ear that will make thee dumb Ophelia- There's rosemary, that's for remberance and there's pansies, that's for thoughts. |
