A hyperbole is either a word or a sentence in a text that shows an overstatement (an exaggeration), it does not have to be literal; it is just a way to express your ideas in order to generate a contrast or to get the reader's attention.
In the excerpt the hyperboles (exaggerations) are:
- <u><em>Your name--think of it! Man,</em></u><u><em> they'll flock in droves</em></u><u><em>, these rich Londoners; they'll fight for that stock! </em></u>
When the writer says <em>"they'll flock in droves", </em>he refers to a very big amount of people together.
- <em><u>In less than twenty-four hours London was </u></em><em><u>abuzz</u></em><em><u>!</u></em>
When the writer uses the word <em>"abuzz", </em>it does not mean the city was on fire; it means the city was lively busy.
I guess that what is suggested about Lady of Shalott's love towards Sir Lancelot is that her love is impossible. She was cursed not to look at the city below her, yet she did and fell in love with Sir Lancelot, although she knew she could never be with him because of the curse. Her love is thus impossible, and even before she got to meet the love of her life, she died because their romance was doomed to fail even before it began.
