What is some of the figurative language in A midsummer night's dream?

Answer 1

Open the script at random and you will find some:

• Simile: "And then the moon, like to a silver bow . . ."
• Allusion: "Or on Diana's altar" or "And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind."
• Metaphor: "Your eyes are lode-stars"
• Personification: "Brief as the lightning in the collied night that, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth."
• Alliteration: "With duty and desire we follow you." or "dotes, devoutly dotes, dotes in idolatry."
• Sarcasm: "You have her father's love, Demetrius. Let me have Hermia's. Do you marry him."

I could go on of course. I only bothered to look at the first scene of the play.
