EXCERPT: But I am pigeon-liver’d, and lack gall
To make oppression bitter, or ere this

With this slave’s offal. Bloody, bawdy villain!
Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!
O! vengeance!
Why, what an a** am I! This is most brave
That I, the son of a dear father murder’d,
Prompted to my revenge by heaven and heII,
Must, like a wh*re, unpack my heart with words,
And fall a-cursing, like a very drab,
A scullion!

The use of figurative language shows that Hamlet is angry with himself and angry about how he always acts hesitantly, as shown in options 1 and 4.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Hamlet uses the metaphor right at the beginning of the excerpt when he states "I am pigeon-liver’d, and lack gall."
  • The use of this metaphor shows how he feels powerless, useless, and weak in the face of situations that are happening.
  • He feels anger about the way he acts, as he is always hesitating to do what he needs to.
  • This also shows that he is angry at himself for not acting correctly.

A metaphor is an implicit comparison between two elements. This comparison extends the meaning of this element and promotes a deeper meaning in the text.
