There are three hyperboles in this excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note":
- "They'll flock in droves". Here the word flock used as a verb means to gather together as a flock (word used to refer to a group of animals, specially birds). Therefore, the phrase is an hyperbole because it contrasts the idea of "a group of animals in a rush" to refer to "these rich Londoners" so as to cause a sense of exaggeration.
- "I'm a made man forever". The use of the word "forever" here is used to add emphasis to the fact that the character will be a made man as long as he lives: everyone knows nothing lasts forever.
- "In less than twenty-four hours London was abuzz!". Here the phrase "less than twenty-four hours" is employed to highlight how fast it took the rich Londoners to hear about the mine selling.
The option which is impossible is <u>Mephistophilis as his servant.
</u><u />In exchange for his soul, Faustus got twenty-four more years, power and fame, and knowledge and wisdom. But the thing that he couldn't have was the devil as his servant, because that wish the devil did not want to grant him, not even for his soul.<u>
</u>
The overall mood is one of sadness and relief. The poem uses the rhythm to convey this mood because by using the different "paces" between the lines, it helps the reader see when the author is feeling melancholy or relieved.
"Though you may hear me holler,
<span>And you may see me cry—
I’ll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die."
By using specific short words and commas, that makes the reader get a sense of the mood - one of sadness and relief at the fact that they are still alive.
