May 30, 2018 Literary example (from R&J) Hyperbole is a literary tactic in which a writer exaggerates to the point that it is not meant to be taken literally. It is often used to emphasize a point and sometimes used for humorous effect. We use hyperbole frequently in our daily communication. For example, we might say, 'That video took forever to load' or 'I'm dying of embarrassment.' The video really did not really take forever to load, and the speaker isn't actually dying. When we say things like this, people understand our true meaning and that we are emphasizing a point. We could say, 'The video took longer than usual to load' or 'I'm embarrassed from that incident,' but these phrases don't emphasize our point as strongly. Think about the praises we heaped on Romeo and Juliet a few seconds ago. The epic love story. Love at first sight. We even described Romeo and Juliet using hyperbole. You may also use Metaphor, personification, or alliteration. Find 3 literary examples from Romeo and Juliet (write the quote) – be sure to cite them correctly, then note which literary example it is and explain the usage and/or meaning.
