What are some figures of speech in A Midsummer Night's Dream?

Answer 1

All of Shakespeare's plays are crammed with imagery. To list it all would take forever. Imagery involving the moon is particularly common in A Midsummer Night's Dream. For example, "O, methinks how slow this old moon wanes! She lingers my desires like to a stepdame or a dowager long withering out a young man's revenue." That's personification and simile. Or another example, "Then the moon like to a silver bow new-bent in heaven shall behold the night of our solemnities" That's also personification and simile. And that's only the first two lines of the play!

Answer 2

Some figures of speech in A Midsummer Night's Dream include metaphor ("The course of true love never did run smooth"), simile ("Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind"), and personification ("And in the wood, where often you and I, Upon faint primrose beds, were wont to lie").
