Statement (Shakespeare using metaphor and why)
Example (of a metaphor)
Explain how this example is a metaphor.
” He that have steerage of my course, direct my sail ”
Shakspeare uses metaphors because they give the audience a strong picture of what is happening. He uses metaphors to show how Romeo’s life is guided by fate.
Shakespeare used a boat as a metaphor to show the audience that Romeo is being guided on his track of love. he uses the words, steerage, and sails which are both on a boat. He meant that Romeo is the boat and God is the captain of Romeo’s fate. using a capital ‘H’ for he usually means He is God.
This sentence is a metaphor because Shakespeare is using a boat as an example. it is not a real boat, but the picture in his thoughts.
Ryan, you nailed this. I was wondering, could I show it to Oliver? I want to because he did this same task a few years ago, and he will understand what an achievement it is to get it right. (I won’t do it without your permission)
