Metaphor/Simile
In the lines provided, we see that Helena says to Demetrius
that she is his spaniel. This does not
mean that she is actually a canine, what is happening here, however, is that
Helena is making a comparison between herself and how she is treated by
Demetrius to that of a spaniel. In
literature, when comparisons are made between two things that not alike in
order to paint a better mental picture for readers, this is known as a metaphor
or simile
