R&J Devices 4

Metaphor
"Out on her, hilding!" (III.v.168).
This is a metaphor and an example of sexism in The Elizabethan era. Capulet is directly comparing his daughter a broken useless horse. This also shows that Capulet regards more as an animal than a daughter.

"Out on her, hilding!" (III.v.168).
This also foreshadows Juliet's death, because she is being to compared to a broken horse, and broken horses are killed

Imagery
"An you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets" (III.v.193).
Capulet is vividly describing what he thinks will happen to Juliet. H does this for emphasis of his point.
