In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses a lot of metaphors. The reason for this is because it helps get an image and gives a better description of how Romeo is feeling. An example of this is when Romeo said that his soul is full of led. He was describing his depression over Rosaline. Shakespeare uses many metaphors in his work to give an example about how each character is feeling. Another example of how Shakespeare uses a lot of different types of writing is from Lady Capulet how she was speaking but had a background meaning how she was talking about a book and if you look at all of Shakespeare work the majority of the writing has a second meaning behind it or is a clever play of words or METAPHOR

This is a good start, Lueol.
You’ll need to quote your metaphors accurately from the play – make sure you put them into quotation marks – and also you are encouraged to fully ‘unpack’ the metaphors you have identified. The soul of lead one is interesting when you think about what he’s actually saying, as opposed to what he means.
In English these details matter.
I look forward to reading your improved version.
