The following table contains a number of metaphor examples contained in King Richard III:
I hope this helps!
Quote | Technique | Effect |
| "... God ... hath plagued thy bloody deed." | Metaphor | This quote shows the religiosity of people in the Elizabethan Period; this metaphor shows the belief in providentialism: God will interfere with human events |
| “I have not that alacrity of spirit.” | Metaphor | This quote indicates that Richard’s villainy has taken its toll on him - he has lost the liveliness of his spirit. |
| "True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings." | Metaphor | This quote showcases the theme of chaos and order present in Richard III. |
| "Our strong arms be our conscience, swords our law." | Metaphor | This quote conveys the themes of morality of power, both of which are present in Richard III. |
| "The King's name is a tower of strength." | Metaphor | This quote aims to foreground the power of King Richard III, hence making it relevant to the theme of power present in this text. |
