What literary device is being used in the following quote: “That ‘banished,’ that one word ‘banished,’ / Hath slain ten thousand
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Hyperbole, Personification, and Alliteration.

Explanation:

The given quote is taken from the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare and said by Juliet on the banishment of Romeo.

<u>The literary device thatt has been used in this quote is hyperbole, personification, and alliteration</u>.

Hpyerbole is a literary device that is used to exaggerate a point extremely. The word 'hyperbole'  is derived from Greek, which means 'excess.' So, this rhetoric device is used to make an exaggerated point.

<u>In this quote, this rhetoric device is used to exaggerate the point that the banishment of Romeo is like slaying ten thousand Tybalts, which means that Romeo's banishment was worse than the slaying of Tybalt</u>.

Alliteration is a rhetoric device in which the beginning of a word or phrase have same consonant sound. This device is used to highligh a point that the author is trying to make.

<u>In the given quote, the use of this device can be found in the consonant sound of 'that', 'banished', 'ten' and 'Tybalts.'</u>

Personification is the literary device that is used to attribute human characteristics to an inanimate objects or non-human things such as trees, clouds, animals, etc.

<u>In the given extract, personification is used by attributing the human characteristic of slaying to 'word.' 'that one word banished, hath slain slain.' Since a 'word' can not have the ability to 'slain' but it is attributing that the 'word' banished had slain ten thousand Tybalts</u>.

So, the correct answer is hyperbole, personification, and alliteration.

Write a poem on the perspective of rainsford from the story the most dangerous game
Step2247 [10]

I'm not quite sure what kind of poem you are looking for but I hope this helps:

Running

Running for my life

Hiding

I hide from the hunter

Or the last place I'll be

Is six feet under

Just like all the others

But then I would lose

Lose the game

The Most Dangerous Game

Of man hunting man

Instincts

My instincts are quick

A trap meant for me

Is the last thing his dog sees

The waves engulf me

But not for long

I swim around to a new shore

And don't bother knocking at his door

By means of challenge

I struggle and win

My name is Rainsford

And I beat Zaroff at his own game

The Most Dangerous Game
