I would say C: Simile because this compares the feeling of seeing the machine to being stabbed by a dozen awls. Similes use like or as to compare two different objects, so that is what leads me to believe this. It cannot be a symbol, because that does not represent anything. It cannot be personification because it does not take a nonliving object and give it human features. I would say that's it a metaphor, but it uses as, so I firmly believe that it is a simile..

After experimenting with Shakespearean insults, think about the language that he used. What similarities can you find to our mod
riadik2000 [5.3K]

The language that Shakespeare used was significantly different from the English we use nowadays. This can sometimes complicate the reading of his works. Many words that were used in Elizabethan English are no longer in use. Some other still exist, but its meaning and connotation have changed.

Moreover, the Elizabethan alphabet contained 24 letters, less than the 26 we use nowadays, and some of these had slightly different pronunciations.
