"but, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
it is the east, and juliet is the sun."
-from shakespeare's "romeo and juliet"
what type of figurative language is found within this literary example?

a. simile

b. metaphor

c. personification

d. irony

It doesn't matter what direction Romeo is facing.  The soft light that he sees through the window is as beautiful as a sunrise (you know, in the East, ever been up that early?)

Is Juliet the sun?  It's not a simile, Juliet is not similar to the sun, not like the sun.  Juliet IS the sun.
What a perfect example of a metaphor.
