"For a Lady, I Know" by Countee Cullen uses irony and allusion.

"She even thinks that up in heaven her class lies late and snores, while poor black cherubs rise at seven to do celestial chores."

The allusion is represented by the words Heaven and Cherubs which represent well-known words in the bible and in most religions. These words are emblems of holy and sacred things.

The irony is presented by her position as a high society woman who has black servants and believes that because of her social and economic position she will go to heaven despite de mistreat she has with her employess.

<span>The literary device used in this poem is HYPERBOLE. Hyperbole is defined as exaggerated claims that are not meant to be taken literally. In this poem, the author exaggerated that the lady thinks that social segregation exist in heaven. This is an exaggerated statement used by the author in order to emphasize his points.</span><span />

What do we learn from hamlets next soliloquy after the ghost?
torisob [31]
The next soliloquy Hamlet has after seeing the ghost of his father is in Act II, Scene ii after the players, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, have left him alone. In this soliloquy ("what a rogue and peasant slave am I"), Hamlet expresses his frustration with  the fact that the actor could create tears in an instant about a fictional character, but he has lost his actual father and cannot even do anything about it. Through this he also decides on the plan to try and catch Claudius' guilt.
