Question

Which two figures of speech are used in this excerpt from Shakespeare's Macbeth?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Allusion
• Personification

Explanation:

Personification alludes to the act of connecting human qualities and attributes with lifeless things, wonders and creatures.  

Allusion is a brief and circuitous reference to an individual, spot, thing or thought of verifiable, social, artistic or political criticalness. It doesn't portray in detail the individual or thing to which it alludes. It is only a passing remark and the author anticipates that the peruser should have enough learning to recognize the implication and handle its significance in a content.

Answer 2
