Emily’s climactic speech is an example of  A- thematic development and B-figurative language.

Emily Webb , one of the characters of "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, is dead and has come to the world of the living for a moment. The lines refer to some of her memories because she wishes to remember a typical day at Grover's Corner.

Thematic development is present because she describes the same place ,cosy home, and the same routine , sleeping and waking up, following a sequence. Her description looks like a camera taking different close ups of the same place where the same routine is done. From clocks , she passes onto food and coffee; then she moves to pressed clothes and hot baths and finally to sleeping and waking  up.

Figurative language is also present ; the character uses imagery appealing to the sense of hearing : clocks ticking; she also appeals to the sense of sight: Mama's sunflowers and new-ironed dresses. The sense of feeling temperature is reflected: hot bath. Then, the character uses allusion when she says: "Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you". She alludes to the living because they cannot appreciate the beauty of  being alive.
