EXCERPT: But I am pigeon-liver’d, and lack gall
To make oppression bitter, or ere this
I should have fatted all the region kites
With this slave’s offal. Bloody, bawdy villain!
Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!
O! vengeance!
Why, what an a** am I! This is most brave
That I, the son of a dear father murder’d,
Prompted to my revenge by heaven and heII,
Must, like a wh*re, unpack my heart with words,
And fall a-cursing, like a very drab,
A scullion!

Explanation:

Figurative language is a literary technique that allows the writer to use a form of communication that uses figures of speech to convey a message in a non-literal way, which needs interpretation and reasoning to be understood. This technique increases the expressiveness of literary texts, making it broader in meaning.

The text above used figurative language to express Hamlet's feeling of anguish about his own actions and decisions. For this reason, we can say that figurative language promoted the understanding of Hamlet's anger at himself and his hesitation to act.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
