ALove goes toward love as schoolboys go from their books.
simile are used throughout William Shakespeare=s writing to give his characters interesting traits.
In Act II, scene ii of the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses metaphor to show how good .
with words Romeo can be, personification to show the same, and simile to show that Juliet also .
words her sentences cleverly.
.
Romeo is constantly making comparisons, and to begin scene ii, Romeo says that Mercutio is jesting Aat scars that have never felt a wound@ when Mercutio tries to lure him out of hiding by talking about Romeo=s former love, Rosaline. Romeo is cleverly phrasing the fact that he was really only ever attracted to Rosaline=s beauty, and therefore there were never any scars of love. This manner of phrasing the embarrassing fact that he was never in love is a clear indicator one of Romeo=s more obvious traits: Romeo is very witty with his words. Romeo soon uses another metaphor a long comparison that simply says that Juliet is very beautiful. Romeo calls Juliet the sun, and says that even the beautiful moon pales and weakens compared to her. Metaphors are sprinkled through scene ii, but there are more literary techniques used as well.
.
Personification is another technique employed by Shakespeare to emphasize one of Romeo=s more obvious traits: the ability to pull expressive language out of nowhere. In Romeo=s long description of Juliet=s beauty, he asks Juliet to AArise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon.@ Besides the aforementioned metaphor used here, there is personification. The moon is not a living object and therefore cannot be killed, which is one way that Romeo gives human traits to non-human objects. The other bit of personification in this quote is that the moon is called envious. As before, the moon is not alive and does not have feelings. The moon is given human traits by Romeo, and that is what personification is.
