Answer:

Hyperbole is used to add emphasis to the idea of love.

Explanation:

How do I lo Thee? is a poem written by British poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, it is also known as Sonnet 43 and appears in The Sonnets from the Portuguese. A hyperbole is the exaggeration of language to add emphasis to what the speaker wants to mention.

In the poem, this rhetorical device works to emphasize how love is even bigger than the speaker and what she can say. We can see it when she says "I love thee to the depth and breadth and height", indicating that the object is loved in every possible way. Another example of hyperbole is when the speaker says "I love thee with the breath/Smiles, tears all of my life." Continuing with this rhetorical device, the speaker emphasizes the idea of loving the object even after dead at the very end of the poem, where the last line says "I shall but love thee better after dead". This line also means that there is an afterlife where the speaker can continue loving the object.

Read the excerpt from "Ulysses" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Select four sets of lines in the poem that reflect the Victorian theme
iren2701 [21]

Answer: Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows;

for my purpose To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die.

One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Explanation:

In the first line the author exhorts his friends to search a new world.

Ulysses exhorts his sailors to set sail; the phrase "smite / the sounding furrows" compares the act of rowing to beating or striking something; beating something that makes a sound is here a metaphor for rowing. ... "Beyond the sunset" is a metaphor.

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. Ulysses yet again tells us that even though he and his sailors are not young and don't have a lot of stamina, there's enough left to go for a while. "Abides" is a word that means "remains."
