Read the extract below and answer the question:
……O, when mine eyes did see Olivia first,
Me thought she purged the air of pestilence;
That instant was, I turned into a hert,
And my desires, like fell and cruel hounds,
E’er since pursue me.
(Act 1, Scene 1)
The effect of the figure of speech is to highlight Olivia’s
- glittering eyes
- state of mind
- determination and hope
-
beauty and purity
