English

Taking into account that a simile is a literary device used to compare two unlike things, the following examples provide a clear use of this resource in Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet" (act three scene one):

King Claudios: <em>"For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither, that he, </em><em>as </em><em>'twere by accident, may here affront Ophelia."  </em>

Ophelia: "...<em>words of so sweet breath composed  </em><em>as</em><em> made the things more rich..."</em>

Words such as "like" or "as" help the reader identify the use of this figurative speech.

Explain how the form of a Petrarchan sonnet affects the content and tone. Your answer should be at least ond hundred words
iragen [17]

Here is what i found on another website Not my work

I think that it is certainly true that Petrarch’s style and beauty ideal and his use of devices such as metaphor or paradox created a gate way for other writers to come through.The descriptive words of the exact feelings and emotions that he was experiencing for Laura allowed for his audience to feel as if they were going through all of the things that Petrarch went through.
