What type of figurative language does shakespeare use in the lines below? "why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a " julius caesar (i. ii.135-136) a. personification b. allusion c. assonance d. metaphor

A - Personification

This is because Colossus is a statue much bigger than life size, meaning that it is not an actual human or thing that can perform human acts.

However, Allusion may also be the correct answer as it could be referencing/hinting to another person/thing, but I lean towards personification as my final answer.

Assonance is incorrect as any factor of rhyme is not presented.

Metaphor is incorrect as the word like is used, thus making it a simile instead.

Hope this helps!

answer is personification

i believe it is the first choice (1.)

because the major theme is(“both the wild and civilization have rules.”)

and also as u said,( based on what buck learns within the call of the wild, "both the wild and civilization have rules".this is true of humans within society as well.

awnser: the oxford dictionary of quotations (oup 1970) has 66 pages of quotations

attributed to the writings of william shakespeare in which there are 2369 quotations,

which may reflect well over 5000 speeches, discussions, observations and comments

that are present in shakespeare’s work. it is largely from those speeches and discussions

on shakespeare’s 37 plays, as well as his, and others’ poems, that examples have been

taken here.

in this book all quotations from his poems and plays have been taken from various

editions of the arden shakespeare.

the writer is very much indebted to the rapid response provided by his son, henry

audley-charles , for cries of , guidance, advice and repairs to his ageing pc, that

henry provided at all hours. without this assistance over the last 3 years this book

could not have been written.

in addition, the writer is much for the kind by discussion and proof readings from

elizabeth macbeth and janet hulse; and for his knowledge of shakespeare’s plays and

poems in discussions with monsieur francis saillart; and especially for years of proof

reading, support and with this book from my wife brenda amy cordeiro. above

all, the debt i owe is to professor david price, vice provost research. he has acted as

the editor and the guide for the whole project. this has been far from easy with

changes repeatedly being made by the author and which continued after professor price

had provided all the editorial structure for this project.
