WARM UP: IDENTIFY THE FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE USED IN THE FOLLOWING QUOTES: 1. "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. 2. That 'banished,' that one word 'banished,' Hath slain ten thousand Tybalts. 3. "Death lies on her like an untimely frost 4. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou her maid art far more fair than she."
