Detailed explanation-1: -With Venus and Adonis, Shakespeare in 1593 launches his career as a poet. The poem is a minor epic, a genre chosen by a large number of poets in the 1590s for their first efforts, each attempt at the genre self-consciously imitating the others.
Detailed explanation-2: -Venus and Adonis also explores themes such as the close connection between love and pain, the powerful effects of passion and the relationship between the immortal and mortal, human and mythology.
Detailed explanation-3: -One day Venus dreamed that Adonis had an accident while hunting. She rushed to try to prevent him from going off to hunt, but Adonis ignored her. He thought Venus was crazy to believe in such dreams. Unfortunately, Venus’s dream came true: during the hunt, a wild pig with large tusks killed Adonis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Figures of Speech. Both Venus and Adonis and Lucrece are heavy with the explicit comparisons that we call similes and the implicit comparisons called metaphors. However, as critics have noted, similes predominate in Venus and Adonis and metaphors in Lucrece.
