Answer:

The literary device used is a metaphor.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a literary device that is used for comparison. This means that when a comparison is made between two unrelated things and their meanings cannot be taken literally, it is a metaphor.

In the given dialogue of Dr. House, a metaphor is used when the comparison is made between them (House and Wilson) and birds. House compares them to <em>"an early bird . . .and a night owl."</em> This comparison is used in the metaphorical sense.

Thus, the correct answer is a metaphor.

Cerrena [4.2K]
Hamlet's willingness to go with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into a trap shows that he may be giving up. He knows the consequences he should face for killing Polonius and has not had the strength or courage to act against Claudius yet. It also is a point that he has descended further into a reality of the madness that he has been 'putting on'.
