Comment on the effective use of adjectives used to describe each of the seven ages.

English
1 answer:
My name is Ann [436]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things using the words "like" or "as." Jacques, the speaker, uses several similes throughout the speech "The Seven Ages of Man" to compare various stages of man's life to different things. Discussing the second stage of man's life, the speaker uses a simile when he compares a whining schoolboy reluctantly walking to class to a snail ("creeping like a snail"). Just as a snail moves slowly, the disgruntled boy reluctantly walks to school. In the third stage of man's life, the adolescent male is "sighing like furnace," which expresses the hot passions of young love. Discussing the fourth stage of man's life, the speaker uses a simile to describe a soldier's facial features by writing that it is "bearded like a pard." A "pard" is an old word for a leopard. Shakespeare is essentially saying that the young solider's beard is patchy and spotted like a leopard's coat.

Read the passage. MACBETH. Cure her of that. Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
IgorC [24]
Sounds like his guilt is on his mind, he does stuff he knows he shouldn't do and doesn't want to do, but his mind also plays with him, Macbeth deep inside wanted to keep his power but his heart was pure and he could never bring himself to do the things he thought of until his wife pushed him to
