    The ghosts curse Clarence for the actions he has done. For example, Clarence tells the keeper that Prince Edward, who he had helped kill, shrieked “Seize on him, furies. Take him unto torment.” (57). Richard receives a similar nightmare where the people he betrayed give him the curse of having a terrible death. Shakespeare uses metonymy very cleverly in this passage. This metonymy can be found in “I passed, methought, the melancholy flood, /With that sour ferryman which poets write of, /Unto the kingdom of perpetual night.” (45-47). The word “melancholy flood” is used to represent the river Styx and “that sour ferryman” is used to show that he was ferried by Charon. When Clarence says “Unto the kingdom of the perpetual night” (47), he is referring to going to hell. Shakespeare is referring to Greek mythology where Charon, an old man, ferries the deceased to Hades, the underworld for the good and bad, across river Styx. This metonymy is significant to the poetic nature of the text. This is because it adds euphony to this passage. This euphony allows the feeling of Clarence and his experience he had during his dream be conveyed effectively to the readers or the audience. This metonymy also gives insight into the character of Clarence. It describes the personality of Clarence because of his word choice. The readers get a sense that Clarence is a very poetic person and his choice of words are very elegant. One of the predominant themes in this passage is conscience and love.…
