English

Shtirlitz [24]4 years ago

Answer:

Simile: "as swift in motion as a ball"

Allusion: "And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings."

Metaphor: "Therefore do nimble-pinion'd doves draw love,"

Explanation:

The scene described above reports the moment when J * sends a nurse to make sure Romeo is ready for the wedding. Nurse takes too long to bring news which makes J * nervous, impatient and apprehensive. To highlight these feelings, Shakespeare uses some figures of speech such as:

Simile - "as swift in motion as a ball": The simile allows the author to compare two things that are very different from each other and that do not have a well-established relationship.

Allusion - "And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.": The allusion allows a reference to be made in something that exists in another work, or universe, or even a reference to a person, music, book, among other things.

The author describes a sunny spring day when people strolled seemingly carefree, children playing games and studying the Talmud.
Bezzdna [24]

When night falls, the restrictions on Jews have begun. The town is now under Nazi rule. Jews have lost their freedom and will begin being rounded up and sent to concentration camps or their deaths. Night here is not a time of mystery and wonder. It signifies darkness and death. At this point, the Jews are in the dark about their lives and their future. There is no hope, goodness, or light: only dark. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel he is detailing the darkest point in his life. Where he had lost the desire to live and also his faith.
