Answer: I would contend that excerpt no. 4 uses irony ("There's a certain slant of light / On winter afternoons / That oppresses, like the weight / Of cathedral tunes").
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that irony is a sharp and concealed, or subtle, mockery. The speaker is here comparing the oppressing feeling caused by the slant of light on winter afternoons to the oppressing feeling caused, in her opinion, by the religious tunes that are played in cathedrals. Obviously tunes do not weigh in the literal meaning of the word, but by using the words in this fashion she sparks the reader's interest and attention, and "compels" him/her to think further, use his/her imagination, and read between the lines in order to understand the underlying messages or ideas.

Explanation:
In this paragraph from an interpretive literary analysis of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the term <em>allusion</em> should be changed to the term <em>irony</em>.
This is a very common literary device where a state of affairs or events end up being the contrary to what the readers expect and often amazes the audience.
In this particular part of the play, Hamlet, who is supposed to kill Laertes with his sword, ends up being hurted and poisoned by his own sword. His lack of attention ends with his life at the same moment he ends Laerte's.
This is a very unexpected outcome because Hamlet was about to fulfill his will, but because of his inattention, the situation ends with his life as well.
