Metaphors suggest the essence of the first object by identifying it with certain qualities of the second object. An example is “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun” in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Here, Juliet, the first object, is identified with qualities of the second object, the sun. sbz57766 https://padlet.com/sbz57766/fx7w5tvn3r2d27a6/wish/3588300038 2025-09-16 19:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sbz57766/fx7w5tvn3r2d27a6/wish/3588300038 Rhyme: Identical or very similar recurring final sounds in words usually at the end of lines of a poem. sbz57766 https://padlet.com/sbz57766/fx7w5tvn3r2d27a6/wish/3588300403 2025-09-16 19:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sbz57766/fx7w5tvn3r2d27a6/wish/3588300403 Symbolism: A device in literature where an object represents an idea. sbz57766 https://padlet.com/sbz57766/fx7w5tvn3r2d27a6/wish/3588300783 2025-09-16 19:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sbz57766/fx7w5tvn3r2d27a6/wish/3588300783 “On a branch...” by Kobayashi Issa, translated by Jane Hirshfield.
