Clever Comparisons and Deep Insight—A Brief Analysis on the Embodiment of Figures of Speech Expressing Likeness in King Lear
In King Lear,one of William Shakespeare's four great tragedies,there's a seemingly minor character—"Fool",who follows Lear faithfully,exposes the latter's stupidity to the point in a tone of jest and expresses his view of the people and things around him without any reservation.His speech is easy to understand and deep in meaning,full of artistry and ideological depth;his manipulation of the figures of speech expressing likeness,such as metaphor,analogy,personification,simile,etc.,not only shows good grasping of language skills,but also deep insight into the way of the world.The molding of such a figure expresses Shakespeare's sincere sympathy for the underclass,and his deep accusation of the society that confuses right and wrong.
