I need to find 3 examples of figurative devices, and 2 examples of sound devices in Act II of Shakespeare's Othello play and write their effects(meaning + why Shakespeare decided to use these devices). Anyone have any suggestions for good lines within Act II that exemplifies a hyperbole, pathetic fallacy, apostrophe, alliteration and assonance/consonance and what the effect of these are? My biggest trouble is finding what they mean and their effect. Any help and suggestions are appreciated.

Question

Thanks!

Answer 1

Do you mean you don't know what the literary devices are, or cannot find them in the play?

Answer 2

If you are having trouble understanding the play itself:

Answer 3

I cannot find them in the play, and if I do find them I don't know what their effect is
