  • William Shakespeare Personification Of Sleep

    690 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this excerpt, Shakespeare speaks through the voice of a King who seeks to find some comfort in his sleep, yet is unable to do so. The speaker uses an accusatory pleading tone to ask for his sleep and beseech nature for respite. Shakespeare employs many literary devices such as personification, apostrophe, alliteration, and juxtaposition throughout this piece to cement this idea. To begin with, Shakespeare’s personification of sleep as a “soft nurse” at the beginning of the excerpt serves to enforce the speaker’s belief that something or someone seeks to take his rest from him. By making sleep a person it ceases to be some mere presence, but rather something he can face on a human level and whom he can bend to his will as it it were one of his subjects.
