Question

"Death lies on her like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flower of all the field." (Romeo and Juliet act 4.5)

what does this simile tell you about how the character speaks and how the character feels?

Answer 1

It seems like the character feels Juliet was too young and beautiful (like a flower) to die. With her untimely death like an early frost.

Answer 2

This was obviously a long time ago, given the English. The character seems to be upset and he finds this loss to be a great one. He clearly loves this girl and he thinks losing her will be a tragedy. He is calling the girl the 'sweetest flower' and the 'untimely frost' is her death that happened too soon, with her being so young.
