Shakespeare uses the bones and structure of the myth as a base for the humor of this scene. He presents the mechanicals (Bottom and Quince, etc) as bad actors who don't know their parts very well, and who also have to improvise to create different elements of the myth. The wall and the moon, for instance, are played by actors rather than just being the inanimate objects that they are in the myth. The story is the same, the plot follows the same lines, but Shakespeare uses the inefficiency and inadequacy of the actors to create more of a ridiculous and humorous tone.
Answer:
D. simile
Explanation:
The literary device used in this quote from Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is simile.
From the quote, there is comparison of "the agents that have power to shake and pluck" with "a wind that tosses curtains of a pavilion". The comparison is carried out with the use of "as".
Simile is a figure of speech used in the comparison of two things with use of "like" and "as". It makes the comparison more emphatic and vivid. Simile is different from metaphor because it uses <em>as</em> and <em>like</em> in comparing things whereas metaphor doesn't use <em>as</em> and <em>like </em>to compare things.
