Well, i have a few questions i would really appreciate help with.
The quotes:
"Treason dith never prosper. What's the reason?"
"Nothing is so monotonous as change."
"Your virtues, gentle master, Are sanctified and holy traitors to you."
i would overly appreciate if anyone can figure out the "figures of Speech," used within them.
Thankyou for your help and replies =D

Here are good online lessons for figures of speech:

Good luck. I know it can be difficult to understand the lessons when your teacher first talks to you. These websites should help make your homework easier.

No. An example of a figure of speech is say someone walks in to the room and you say "wow look what the cat dragged in". another person says "what?" to you, not understanding what you mean and you say "oh thats just a figure of speech" implying you said that because so and so walked in to the room. did that make sense? lol? Maybe someone else will be able to provide a definition for you.
