Question

Which two figures of speech are used in this excerpt from Shakespeare's Macbeth?

Till thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night,
Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day,
And with thy bloody and invisible hand,
Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond
Which keeps me pale! Light thickens, and the crow
Makes wing to the rooky wood;
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse,
Whiles night's black agents to their preys do rouse

Answer 2

a) apostrophe and b) personification

Step-by-step explanation:

The two figures of speech that are used in this excerpt from Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Macbeth" are apostrophe and personification. An apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the writer addresses someone who is not present or an inanimate object. Here, the poet is addressing the night and asking it to "cover the tender eyes of day." He is using personification to refer to the eyes of the day and calling them tender. Personification is when a thing is given human attributes.
