Detailed explanation-1: -#1: Metaphor One of the first metaphors is in the line “to take arms against a sea of troubles, ” wherein this “sea of troubles” represents the agony of life, specifically Hamlet’s own struggles with life and death and his ambivalence toward seeking revenge.
Detailed explanation-2: -First, hamlet uses images of disease to show the state of the country of Denmark and his mother. Second, the imagery of poison is used to describe his father’s death. Lastly, Hamlet describes his feelings toward himself and Claudius and his feelings toward his mother by using images of decay.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet’s first soliloquy takes place in act 1, scene 2, when Hamlet is expressing his misery and shock at his mother’s new marriage to his uncle. He uses metaphor ("Frailty, thy name is woman!") and simile ("Like Niobe, all tears").
Detailed explanation-4: -Claudius opens his speech with a juxtaposition of “delight and dole.” What is the source of both the delight and dole? It’s an alliteration to underscore the opposites.-Delight: marriage to Gertrude.-Dole: death of the king (his brother).
