How are Shakespeare's words a universal truth? How is ignorance a metaphor for darkness of the mind? Write your response in a text box and respond to two other students' responses.

Ignorance can be much more than a metaphor indicating darkness of the mind--it can be the darkness of the mind. One who is ignorant refuses to believe, accept the truth, or understand their actions. Shakespeare's words can be a universal truth since ignorance is not fiction--it is something that makes up a lot of today's society.

Note: I didn't read Shakespeare, so if there are things you feel need to be included, go ahead and add it. :)

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.

the answer is subjective. i personally agree with the first answer for this question.

if one isn't strictly talking about objects then the correct answer would be 'my eyes' since according to this riddle i am asleep and in order to answer/open the door i need to open my eyes first of all.

however, if one is specifically looking for an object, then the first thing i would open would be the door

hope this !
