Below is a small part of the long speech about Queen Mab that Mercutio gives just as they are going into the Capulet party. Which literary term does his speech represent?
She's the fairies' midwife. She's no bigger than the stone on a city councilman's ring. She rides around in a
wagon drawn by tiny little atoms, and she rides over men's noses as they lie sleeping. The spokes of her
wagon are made of spiders' legs. The cover of her wagon is made of grasshoppers' wings. The harnesses are
made of the smallest spiderwebs. The collars are made out of moonbeams. Her whip is a thread attached
to a cricket's bone. Her wagon driver is a tiny bug in a gray coat; he's not half the size of a little
round worm that comes from the finger of a lazy young girl.
