<span>"Unsignificantly" in William Carlos Williams's poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is meant to indicate the relative prominence of the mythological event. Rather than portraying the fall of Icarus as the main focus of the painting, artist Pieter Brueghel places it in the background, a place of relative unimportance. The significance here is that the world continues on with mundane, everyday events even while extraordinary things occur. Williams uses the term "unsignificantly" to acknowledge the deliberate choice of depicting the death of Icarus in an mundane and rather unremarkable way.</span>

Masja [62]

In the book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" author Mark Twain makes use of exaggeration and hyperbole to create greater emotion in the text, such as:

  • They had been friends for centuries.
  • They cried rivers of tears.
  • Friends died laughing at the joke they heard.
<h3 /><h3>What is a hyperbole?</h3>

It corresponds to a figure of speech that conveys exaggerated ideas, that is, it is a resource widely used in literature to generate greater emotion and textual expression, through words that convey intensity.

Therefore, the author uses the hyperbole as a resource that generates greater intentional expressiveness to the text.

Read this excerpt from act III, scene I, of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet:
user100 [1]
<span>The correct answer is A. Romeo blames falling in love with Juliet as the cause of Mercutio's death.

After Mercutio dies, Romeo says, "O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper soften'd valour's steel." Here, he is saying that, because he fell in love with Juliet, he became weak. His love softened "valour's steel" -- or the brave metal of a sword -- making him unable to fight his enemy Tybalt.

The implication is that, had he not fallen in love with Juliet, he would have been strong enough to fight Tybalt and his friend would not have died. Therefore he blames falling in love with Juliet as the cause of his friend's death.</span>
