Editing Extended metaphor (section)

==Petrarchan==
The [[Petrarch]]an conceit is a form of love poetry wherein a man's love interest is referred to in [[hyperbole]]. For instance, the lover is a ship on a stormy sea, and his mistress is either "a cloud of dark disdain" or the sun.<ref>{{cite book|author=Najat Ismaeel Sayakhan|title=THE TEACHING PROBLEMS OF ENGLISH POETRY IN THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENTS|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mhlBBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA58|date=8 July 2014|publisher=[[Author House]]|isbn=978-1-4969-8399-2|page=58}}</ref>

The paradoxical pain and pleasure of lovesickness is often described using [[oxymoron]], for instance uniting peace and war, burning and freezing, and so forth. But images which were novel in the sonnets of [[Petrarch]], in his innovative exploration of human feelings, became clichés in the poetry of later imitators. Romeo uses hackneyed Petrarchan conceits when describing his love for Rosaline as "bright smoke, cold fire, sick health".

In [[Sonnet 18]] the speaker offers an extended metaphor which compares his love to Summer.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aubusson|first=Peter J.|title=Metaphor and Analogy in Science Education|year=2005|publisher=Springer|isbn=1402038291|pages=3–4|author2=Harrison, Allan G. |author3=Ritchie, Stephen M. }}</ref>  Shakespeare also makes use of extended metaphors in [[Romeo and Juliet]], most notably in the balcony scene where Romeo offers an extended metaphor comparing Juliet to the sun.

:It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
: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:
:Be not her maid, since she is envious;
:Her vestal livery is but sick and green
:And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.<ref name=MITShakes>{{cite web|title=Romeo and Juliet|url=http://shakespeare.mit.edu/romeo_juliet/full.html|work=The Complete Works of William Shakespeare|publisher=Massachusetts Institute of Technology|access-date=4 November 2012}}</ref>
