I see you have already provided the answer. I will just confirm it and explain it further.

Answer:

The figurative language being used in the line is an apostrophe.

Explanation:

As a literary device, an apostrophe happens when the character speaks to an inanimate object, to an idea, or to someone who is either dead or absent at the moment. In the line we are analyzing here, Hamlet addresses "vengeance" as if it could hear him. "Vengeance" is an idea, but Hamlet is talking to it, letting it know what a sordid and cowardly person he is. Therefore, the line is an example of apostrophe.

the keel is the part of the ship that provides stability. what is whitman referring to with the phrase the steady keel
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The keen is a part of the boat that is used to support the boat, as in the poem the keen is used as a symbol of a strong nation.

Explanation:

The first use of the keel represents stability that the boat needs to have on the water. The other use of keel is as a synecdoche.  

In Witman’s poem, the steady keel is a symbol of a strong and stable nation, that although has to pass many obstacles it maintains itself strong. It represents the whole boat that carries the nation on its deck.
