Due on Wednesday 8 October, your task is to “fly solo” on an analytical paragraph, based around Shakespeare’s use of metaphors. This paragraph will be eligible to unlock the Stage 3 “Figure it Out” achievement.
If you’re still struggling to grasp the idea of metaphor, I encourage you to review the class presentation here
This is the passage you must refer to:
MERCUTIO
True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air
And more inconstant than the wind, who woos
Even now the frozen bosom of the north,
And, being angered, puffs away from thence,
Turning his face to the dew-dropping south.
