In 300 words or less, identify three examples of figurative language, and explain what they mean and how they relate to the play's larger themes

Explanation:

Romeo uses the following metaphor in Act 2 Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet after sneaking into Juliet's garden and catching a glimpse of her on her balcony: Metaphor - A figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unrelated things by stating that one thing is another thing, even though this isn't literally true.

Ex: But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Romeo compares Juliet to the sun not only to describe how radiantly beautiful she is, but also to convey the full extent of her power over him. He's so taken with Juliet that her appearances and disappearances affect him like those of the sun. His life "revolves" around Juliet like the earth orbits the sun.

In his song "Juicy," Notorious B.I.G. raps: Metonym- Metonymy is a figure of speech in which an object or concept is referred to not by its own name, but instead by the name of something closely associated with it.

Ex: Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight

Here he's using "limelight" as a metonym for fame (a "limelight" was a kind of spotlight used in old theaters, and so it came to be associated with the fame of being in the spotlight). Biggie's use of metonymy here also sets him up for a sweet rhyme.

In Act 4, Scene 3 of Shakespeare's Macbeth, an angry Macbeth kicks out a servant by saying: : Synecdoche- In synecdoche, a part of something is used to refer to its whole.

Ex: Take thy face hence.

Here, "thy face" stands in for "you." Macbeth is simply telling the servant to leave, but his use of synecdoche makes the tone of his command more harsh and insulting because he uses synecdoche to treat the servant not as a person but as an object, a body part.

FYI: I’m 12 words over but that shouldn’t be a big deal.

a simile is first defined as a type of speech that uses one thing or phrase with comparisons to things of an unrelated kind, often in order to make a more vivacious description. so of the phrases above, only the last one (i swear she cast a shadow white as stone) would be considered a simile, as a shadow white as stone takes two unrelated things and uses them in an interesting way.
