Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

A metaphor designates identification of one thing with another with which is not literally identifiable. The comparison of "faces in the crowd" in a metro station with "petals on a wet, black bough" at first glance seems to have no relation. However, the underground image ressembles a beautiful view of nature for the speaker. This image might remind him of the flowers of a quiet and nice place in the country side. Accordingly, it is possible to be said that there is natural beauty in a city environment. A complex task when reading poetry is to make multiple associations to find meaning.

Discuss the role of insanity and paranoia in the unfolding events of Macbeth
Minchanka [31]
After Macbeth kills King Duncan, his mental health begins to deteriorate. He tells us in this quote that after Duncan's murder, he is outside of the nourishing effects of sleep. By the time that Macbeth arranges for the murders of Banquo and Fleance and then Macduff's family, he has lost all of the comforts that humanity needs to survive.
The ability to sleep, eat, peace of mind, the company of friends and loved ones.
" Still it cried,'sleep no more', to all the house: 'Glamis hath murder'd  sleep, and therefore Cawdor 
Shall sleep no more, Macbeth shall sleep no more!
