In the original, Shakespeare's language was early modern English a linguistic period that lasted from the 1500s to 1750s.
there are many different forms of literary terms. The 13 main ones used in Romeo and Juliet include Metaphors (figure of speech that for rhetorical effect directly refers to one thing by mentioning another)
Similes (A type of figurative language that describes something by comparing it to something else with the words like or as)
Analogies (a comparison of two things based on their being alike in some way)
Personification (when human characteristics are attributed to non-human things)
hyperbole (A figure of speech that uses extreme exaggeration to make a point or show emphasis)
Allusions (a reference to something else, such as a person, a piece of writing or an event.)
Euphemisms (A word or expression used in place in one that is deemed offensive or suggest something unpleasant.)
Oxymoron (A figure of speech that combines two contradictory or opposite words or ideas)
satire (the use of humor, irony, sarcasm or ridicule to criticize something or someone)
onomatopoeia (onomatopoeia is the use or creation of a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests that sound that it describes)
alliteration (repetition of sounds not just letters)
irony (figurative language that refers to the clash between expectations and reality)
foreshadowing (Foreshadowing is a literary device that writers utilize as a means to indicate or hint to readers something that is to follow or appear later in a story)Â
however, in the animated remake Gnomeo and Juliet the language is simplified, childlike and displays a more innocent theme.
