What is meant by a literal interpretation

English
1 answer:
AlekseyPX2 years ago
6 0
A literal interpretation is explaining something based on the literal meaning of the words or story, rather than the metaphorical meaning. For example, in Jack and the Beanstalk, the literal interpretation is that he actually climbed a beanstalk into a palace in the sky and found a golden egg. The metaphorical meaning is that he received wisdom, nurtured it, and it grew exponentially. Though the wisdom itself may not have been worth money, it led to wealth and success that could not be accessed another way. You see?

No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
lapo4ka [179]
  I believe that the best answer for this question is an allusion. An allusion is a literary device where a writer refers to some other work of literature in their own work of literature in order to make some point or add emphasis. Here, T.S. Eliot is referring to Hamlet by Shakespeare. The speaker is asserting that he is not indecisive, as Hamlet is. Rather, he is like Polonius, a servant of the king in Hamlet. Polonius is a very cautious character but is overall fairly useless. I hope this helps. Don't forget to make me brainiest.
