Shakespeare’s plays are filled with examples of figurative language, language that means something other than its literal meanin

g and expresses ideas in vivid and imaginative ways. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo says:
“But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she...”

Shakespeare shows Juliet’s radiance by comparing her to the sun using figurative language: the metaphor “Juliet is the sun.” He also uses personification, saying the moon is “envious” and “sick and pale with grief” that Juliet is more beautiful than it is.

Why does the author of this passage include a quotation from Romeo and Juliet?

A
to describe where the play Romeo and Juliet takes place

B
to support her argument that Shakespeare’s language was not very imaginative

C
to describe Romeo’s character traits in the play Romeo and Juliet

D
to give examples of figurative language in Shakespeare’s plays

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The large handsome face of Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the very l
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The direct characterization of Dr. Jekyll implies that he is upset by Utterson's persistence.

Explanation:

"Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a gothic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. The main character is Dr. Jekyll, a doctor who is able to develop a potion that separates the good aspects of his personality from the bad. Mr. Hyde is the man he transforms into when the bad traits take over.

In this particular excerpt, we have a brief direct characterization that reveals something about the character. Direct characterization takes place when the narrator/author is the one explicitly describing the character. In this case, it is <u>"The large handsome face of Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes." This characterization shows that Jekyll is upset. He is clearly not bored, offended, or resigned. Those adjectives would need a completely different description. The paleness of his face and lips, the shadow over his eyes, all show that Utterson's persistence is disconcerting Jekyll. He does not wish to discuss this any further.</u>
