Look up the terms you need here. Read the explanations and examples carefully. Then let us know what you decide.
To find examples of alliteration, personification, and simile in lines 51-60 of Romeo's first lines upon seeing Juliet, we'll need to examine the text closely.
Here are the lines for reference:
"O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
Her beauty hangs upon the cheek of night,
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!"
To find an example of alliteration, we look for the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words. In this case, we have "teach the torches to burn bright" where the "t" sound is repeated.
Now, let's look for personification, which is the attribution of human characteristics to something non-human. In the lines provided, we don't find any clear instances of personification.
Lastly, we need to find an example of a simile, which is a comparison using "like" or "as." In line 53, Romeo says, "Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear." Here, he compares Juliet's beauty hanging upon the cheek of night to a rich jewel in the ear of someone from Ethiopia.
So, to summarize:
- Alliteration is found in the line "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!"
- Simile is found in the line "Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear."
Please note that the presence of alliteration, personification, and simile may vary depending on the interpretation and edition you are using. It's always a good idea to consult the specific text in question to ensure accuracy.
