All we Karamazovs are such insects, and... that insect lives in you, too. (from The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky) [Metaphor]

A metaphor is a hidden comparison between two things which possess at least any one idea common to each other. The things may be completely different from each other but would have either one characteristic in common to them.

Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything, from nothing first create, O heavy lightness! Serious vanity! (from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare) [Apostrophe]

In a sentence, when a speaker breaks off from pointing one party and instead points the third, the literary device used is said to be an Apostrophe.

I was quaking from head to foot, and could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far. (from Old Times on the Mississippi by Mark Twain) [Hyperbole]

Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement which is not meant to be taken literally. They add comic relief in the sentence. Hyperbole is not a comparison as in metaphor or simile but an overstatement which is not to be taken in literal sense.

What does Romeo mean when he says "Then I defy you, stars!"?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The stars represent fate, and a romeo is challenging fate’s apparent decree.

Explanation:

First of all, the other answers are very literal and that’s not what english class is about. Second, in Romeo and Juliet, everything is trying to keep them apart. There is distance between them and their families are holding them back from one another. It seems like fpthere have been many obstacles put by fate, trying to show them that they shouldn’t be together. but since romeo loves juliet so passionately, he’s telling the stars, which represent fate, that he’ll defy them. the reason the stars represent fate is because of the phrase that goes “it was written in the stars.”
