hey i just need some help with my othello ppt i need to have at least 5 language techniques in the scene i have chosen and i cant seem to find the language technique to this " Put out the light, and then put out the light. If I quench thee, thou flaming minister, I can again thy former light restore 10 Should I repent me. But once put out thy light, Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promethean heat That can thy light relume. When I have plucked thy rose I cannot give it vital growth again"



which means:"Put out the light of the candle, and then put out the light of her heart. If I extinguish the candle, I can light it again if I regret it. But once I kill you, you beautiful, fake woman, I do not know the magic that could bring you back. When I've plucked this rose, I can't make it grow"

repetition of light?
is this part of a soliloquy?

1. The whole passage is a simile, comparing putting out the light with murder.

2. Adjective 'flaming' in front of minister sustains the theme.

3. "Should I repent me." Is this meant to be a question? If so, it is rhetorical

4. 'Promethean heat ' Proper noun used to describe

5. When I have plucked thy rose I cannot give it vital growth again" - rose is a metaphor

That should get you started. I haven't study Othello for a few years now, so I hardly remember the passage.
