Shakespeare uses personification and metaphor in Much Ado About Nothing to express Leonato’s shift in feelings on Hero. Leonato is a man that carries a lot of pride‚ once his daughter has jeopardized his reputation and honor in public he immediately conveys fury and hatred towards Hero without even bothering to confirm if the act was true or not.

In his novel‚ The Death of Ivan Ilyich‚ Leo Tolstoy expresses his opinions regarding the abstract idea of “family”.

The themes also go hand in hand because one cannot learn a lesson without achieving
