okay i really need to find langauge features and forms in these quotes from Othello;

1. “Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse Of sun and moon, and that the affrighted globe Should yawn at alteration.” Othello.

2. “It is the very error of the moon; She comes more nearer than she wont And makes men mad.” Othello.

3. “Nay, had she been true If heaven would make me such another world Of one entire perfect chrysolite, I’Id not have sold her for it.” Othello.

4. "She was false as water." Othello

This is your homework, right? Maybe instead of asking people to do it for you, you could give us one of the quotes and somebody can show you the language forms & features as an example and then you could work out the rest yourself..

If you didn't know 4 was a simile you should drop advanced english.

i hate to embarras you but 4 is actually a metaphor
I hate to embarass you; but it's actually a simile.

The key is in the "as" (false as water)

A metaphor would be something like 'she was a tower of strength' - in this example the comparison is being made between a woman and tower
