Marlow is rather ambiguous in his work Doctor Faustus when it comes to fate and free will.
On one hand, it is implied that Faustus has the opportunity to choose his own destiny, to make the appropriate decision, repent for his sins, and then he will be saved. One of the angels tells him the following:
<em>"Faustus, repent yet, God will pity thee." </em>(Act II Scene III)
On the other hand, however, it is implied several times throughout the work that Faustus's decisions don't really matter - his life was preordained, meaning that destiny chooses what happens with him and his life. This leads us to believe that regardless of his desires, Faustus would always go down the 'evil' path because ultimately that wasn't even his decision - it was what destiny picked for him.

A metaphor is a literary device which applies a word or phrase to another word, which ordinarily it has no connection to. A metaphor reveals the concealed similarities between the two words used. In this excerpt of the speech by Martin Luther King Jr., several metaphors were used. They include;
1. Manacles of segregation- Manacles are chain used in fastening peoples hands or ankles. Segregation is the separation of people. Martins' use of this phrase is a metaphor which highlights the hidden similarities between a chain and separating of people from others. It is a form of bondage.
2. Chains of discrimination- It also has similar meaning to the metaphor above. Chains are linked or compared to discriminatory acts.
3. Island of Poverty- An island is land surrounded by water. An island is bare and isolated. It has a similarity with poverty which is a state of lack.
4. Ocean of Material prosperity- An ocean is a large expanse of sea. It represents abundance and that is why Martins could connect the two words.
