Algermon is used as a burlesque character to poke fun at High Victorian society,

Explanation:

Algermon is a burlesque who has lascivious impulses and is someone who is willing to subvert the morals of his time to his ends while he pretends to be, and pulls off the image of a successful Victorian gentleman.

He creates a persona to get the girl he wants to get and has no qualms or guilt for misleading her.

He is also willingly getting into trouble with other men often times just to have some fun.

His attitude throws shade against the morality of the Victorian age

Victor is reading a narrative poem about the deeds of gods and heroes. In this work, the author makes long and involved comparis
Serga [27]
It is an epic simile. This is because the comparisons are "long and involved". The main difference between an epic simile (also known as Homeric simile) and an ordinary simile is than an epic simile is very detailed and can span over many lines. Where as a normal simile usually is contained within one or two lines.

Example of epic simile:

But swift Aias the son of Oïleus would not at all now take his stand apart from Telamonian Aias,
not even a little; but as two wine-coloured oxen straining
with even force drag the compacted plough through the fallow land,
and for both of them at the base of the horns the dense sweat gushes;
only the width of the polished yoke keeps a space between them
as they toil down the furrow till the share cuts the edge of the ploughland;
so these took their stand in battle, close to each other.

Normal simile:

As white as a ghost
