Read the passage.
excerpt from Act II, Scene 2, in A Midsummer Night's
Dream by William Shakespeare
Helena
No, no, I am as ugly as a bear,
For beasts that meet me run away for fear.
Therefore no marvel though Demetrius
Do as a monster fly my presence thus.
Which tone does the simile "I am as ugly as a bear" create?
Her movements in the forest are so "ugly" and
O clumsy that she sounds like a bear; it creates a
comedic tone.
Her mood is so ugly that she growls like a bear; it
creates a frustrated tone.
She believes she is not pretty; it creates a
despairing tone.
She hates that her hair is brown like a bear's fur; it
creates a self-loathing tone.
