‘Here my soul speak’

This is figurative language in the form of personification. I know this because a soul does not speak ‘hear my soul speak’. Shakespeare is giving the soul human actions of which in this case is to speak. The soul only exists metaphorically. When Ferdinand says ‘hear my soul speak’ he is telling Miranda that he will tell her everything in his deepest possible feelings. This quote explores the theme of romance,  going back to when Miranda first met Ferdinand she comments on his appearance. ‘A thing divine for nothing natural I ever saw so noble’ here Miranda States she believes Ferdinand is handsome ‘a thing divine’ and also says he has a noble figure. This is the beginning of their ongoing romantic relationship. Shakespeare uses the word divine as the words divine means delightful she is saying he has a delightful figure but divine can also mean God like and Miranda does at first believe Ferdinand to be a spirit. ‘It carries a brave form but tis a spirit’ Which means Miranda could also mean that Ferdinand has a very God like appearance.
