What is one example of each of the following literary devices used anywhere in Act One?1. Pun 2. Alliteration 3. Oxymoron 4. Allusion 5....

1. Pun: "Ay, the
heads of the maids, or their maidenheads;"


2.
Alliteration: "From forth the fatal loins of these
two foes"


3.
Oxymoron: "O loving
hate!"


4. Allusion:
"Even or odd, of all days in the year, Come Lammas-eve at
night shall she be fourteen"


5.
Metaphor: O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with
you.
She is the fairies' midwife,"


6.
Hyperbole: It seems she hangs upon the cheek of
night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too
dear!"


7. Irony:
"What, drawn, and talk of peace!"


8.
Comic Relief: I'll lay fourteen of my
teeth,--
And yet, to my teeth be it spoken, I have but
four--"

misgives
Some consequence yet hanging in the
stars"


10. Aside:
