In this passage Helena speaks of herself as Demetrius’s spaniel.

Which tone does this metaphor create in this excerpt?


Helena’s tone is sarcastic; she pretends to be flattered that Demetrius would treat her as well as one of his beloved hunting dogs.


The tone is cheerful; Helena imagines herself as a little puppy who Demetrius cannot resist.


Helena’s tone is playful; she wants to make Demetrius laugh by making such a ridiculous comparison.


The tone is pleading; she doesn’t care if he treats her like a dog, as long as she can follow him.
