Question:-<\/strong> “A man may break a word with you, sir, and words are but wind.” -William Shakespeare, The Comedy of Errors The quote above is an example of a (n): A. simile B. personification C. metaphor D. alliteration<\/p>\n

\n

Answer: The correct option is C.<\/h3>\n

\n

This is a metaphor and the quote comes from Shakespeare\u2019s Comedy of Errors. A metaphor, which compares two unrelated things directly by saying that one thing is another. In this scenario, the above quotation metaphorically relates to the ‘words’ with ‘wind’ that comments mere vent as a result of wind is insubstantial and also fleeting. The insinuation is that, like the wind has no physical nature, the words are unreliable or meaningless. Contrary to the simile, which describes a similarity between two things and uses like\u2019 or as\u2019, this quotation expressly equals many words with wind. Metaphor appears in this quote because the image of wind that can change any time is used to link with my words, and it means perhaps they cannot be trusted without actions . The quote does not utilize alliteration very well, which describes the repetition of consonant sounds in initial syllables or personification where human tendencies are given to non-human things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
