"To His Coy Mistress" are examples of hyperbole?
English

Oxana [17]3 years ago

You forgot to provide the excerpt but I managed to find it anyways, so here you have <u>the set of lines that most clearly present the use of hyperbole in the poem</u>:

"Vaster than empires and more slow;  

An hundred years should go to praise  

Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;  

Two hundred to adore each breast,  

But thirty thousand to the rest;  

An age at least to every part"


In Andrew Marvel's "To His Coy Mistress", hyperbole is used to emphasize the magnitude of the love he feels for his mistress is. The writer streches dimensions to impossible lengths in order to convey intensity through exaggeration.


Hope this helps!

A test is said to be direct when the test actually requires the candidate to demonstrate ability in the skill being sampled. It is a performance test.

How does the author of "The Lady, or the Tiger?" show
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The moral is that a selfless person would put the man's life before her own happiness. The author says the princess is jealous of the woman her lover would marry. It seems like she might have decided to send her lover to his death instead of to another woman. This makes us think about whether or not she really loves him and what we would do for someone we truly love. The right thing to do would be to save the man and put his needs above her own.

Explanation: Got it right on edge.
