Answer and Explanation:

1. Is calling a human a "guide dog" figurative language and why?

Yes, it is. Figurative language is the use of words in ways that change their original meaning. Some of the most common examples of figurative language are metaphor, simile, hyperbole, and personification. Calling someone a "guide dog" is most likely a metaphor. It is comparing the person to the dog in order to express that there are similarities between them.

2. What does the phrase "You'd have to be blind to get lost in this place" mean?

It means that there is no reason to get lost. The place is probably very easy to navigate, so to speak, so getting lost is practically impossible. This sentence is an example of a hyperbole, which is a figurative language that uses exaggeration to express an idea.

All animals are equal, but some are more equal then others what's the meaning of this oxymoron ​
ella [17]

The meaning of this oxymoron refers to the hypocrisy of the government and its corporate governance by claiming that all citizens are created equal but continuously provide special privileges and power towards the elites, implying that true equality is a false ideology that doesn’t genuinely exist regardless of the fabricated lie that those in power claim is there.

Answer:

The most significant source forA Midsummer Night’s Dream is Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses, an epic poem that weaves together many Greek and Roman myths. Shakespeare alludes to many of the stories from Metamorphoses, but the story with the most obvious importance for his play is that of Pyramus and Thisbe. Originally appearing in Book IV of Ovid’s poem, this story tells of two lovers who long to marry against their parents’ wishes and who come to a tragic end in the attempt to do so. Shakespeare adapts this story for Midsummer’s play-within-a-play, performed in the final act by a group of craftsmen. The theatrical ineptitude of this troupe undermines the seriousness of their subject matter. What results is an ironically comedic performance that delights rather than saddens the audience of Athenian nobles. Perhaps the most ironic aspect of the craftsmen’s retelling is just how un-Ovidian their play is, and how this un-Ovidian spirit contrasts with the very Ovidian nature of the rest of Midsummer. Whereas the main storyline of Midsummer involves an engaging series of transformations and supernatural beings, the craftsmen’s production offers a dull, bare-bones retelling.

Significantly, the craftsmen’s production of “Pyramus and Thisbe” also parallels the main plot of Shakespeare’s play. Just as Theseus bans Hermia from marrying Lysander, so too do the fathers of Pyramus and Thisbe ban their union. Furthermore, just as Lysander and Hermia flee Athens and its harsh laws, so too do Pyramus and Thisbe flee Babylon to safeguard their love. One obvious difference between Midsummer and the story of Pyramus and Thisbe is that the former is a comedy and the latter is a tragedy. Nevertheless, Shakespeare manages to play comedy and tragedy against each other in such a way that draws the two stories into a mirrored relationship. Thus, just as the craftsmen set out to perform a tragedy but end up in the midst of a comedy, so too does the main story of Midsummer begin with the threat of tragedy (i.e., unhappy marriage or death) but ends with all of the lovers alive and in their preferred pairings.
