Question

Hyperbole in Romeo and Juliet act 3

Answer 1

Mercutio says to Benvolio

"... thou wilt quarrel with a man that hath a hair more, or a hair less, in his beard, than thou hast: thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking nuts, having no other reason but because thou hast hazel eyes: what eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel?"

Here, Mercutio exaggerates Benvolio's quick temper.
OR

In Act 3, Scene 5,  "It is the lark that sings so out of tune, straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps. Some say the lark makes sweet division; this doth not so, for she divideth us."

Here, she exaggerates by saying that the lark (known for its beautiful song) sounds harsh and unpleasing, because it means that Romeo must leave her.
