I think it would be a metaphor, because this phrase is probably being used to describe a person, not an actual snake. 

Do you know how the phrase is being used?

The poetic device in the phrase "That Cruel Serpent" is a metaphor, since it doesn't refer to a serpent. It refers to a person who has such characteristics.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that depicts an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.

This poetic device states that one thing is another thing and it cannot be taken literally.

Metaphors are employed in poetry, literature, and anytime someone wants to add some color to their language

What is a couplet, in the context of a Shakespearean sonnet?
Juliette [100K]

Answer: In the context of a Shakespearean sonnet, a couplet represents <u>the final two lines (A)</u>.

Explanation:

In poetry, a couplet is a pair of lines that typically rhyme and have the same length. Sometimes, poets write the whole poem in couplet form. However, Shakespeare often used rhyming couplets at the end of his sonnets, to make the ending more effective. One such example is a couplet from his Sonnet 81:

"You still shall live, such virtue hath my pen,

<em>Where breath most breathes, even in the mouths of men."</em>

Why doesn't scout get along with calpurnia?
Doss [256]
Scout is a bit wild and rambunctious. Calpurnia likes to keep order and is strict. She will punish Scout (like having her copy the Bible) when necessary.

But the main reason is that Calpurnia is not her mom. Her mom dies when she is young, and Calpurnia has to raise Scout.

Analyze the theme of disillusionment in Fitzgerald’s "Winter Dreams."
dlinn [17]
Winter Dreams" just like The Great Gatsby is one of Fitzgerald's diatribes against the Old Money class in American society and its seeming false offer of equality to those who believe in the American Dream. In the story, Dexter observes the wealthy golfers for whom he caddies and believes that if he works hard enough, he can one day be just like them.  He envisions scenes where he drives up in luxurious cars and the wealthy surround him simply to listen to him speak.

Dexter does work hard and becomes wealthy, but once he makes it to the top, he realizes that the dream has become corrupted (just like Daisy is the corrupted version of Gatsby's dream and can never live up to his expectations).

Both of these works present Fitzgerald's frustration with his own life and attempts to achieve the American Dream.  He, like Dexter and Gatsby, became interested in a wealthy socialite (Zelda) and was looked down upon by her social class and family.  When he finally did win Zelda and marry her, he endured a tumultuous relationship with her where their wealth was unstable and their faithfulness to one another questionable.  He believed (as he demonstrates in "Winter Dream") that the Old Money portion of society corrupts the moral, decent Midwesterner.
