Romeo & Juliet - Romeo and Juliet Act 2 Review "It is the east, and Juliet is the sun" (2.2.3). -✔✔ metaphor - it compares Juliet to the sun "Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon" (2.... 2.4). -✔✔ personification - gives human qualities to the moon.

It is sick and pale with grief. "The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, as daylight doth a lamp..." (2.2.19-20). -✔✔ hyperbole - exaggeration.
