All's Well contains the same kinds of literary figures of speech as any other Shakespeare play: metaphors and similes abound. Check out what Parolles has to say about virginity at the end of I, 1. "Virginity, like an old courtier, wears her cap out of fashion" (simile and personification), "Besides, virginity is peevish, proud, idle, made of self-love . . ." (personification), "Virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese, consumes itself to the very paring, and so dies with feeding his own stomach." (metaphor "breeds mites", simile "like a cheese" and personification "dies with feeding") The play of course contains lots of blank verse as well as passages in prose, and a couple of rhymed songs for the clown to sing. Naturally there are the usual rhetorical devices as well: parallel structures, puns, and so on.
