Hyperbole
Hyperbole is a figure of speech where the truth is exaggerated for emphasis or humorous effect.
Tip: Remember, “I’m more hyper than a puppy!”
Shakespeare’s Example: Juliet says that her “bounty is as boundless as the sea” (Act 2, Scene 2). In other words, she says what she has to offer Romeo is wider than the ocean!
Ms. Popp’s Example: I must have graded a million papers last night! (I graded a lot of papers, but I definitely did not grade a million. By exaggerating how many papers I graded, I am letting the reader know what it felt like to grade last night.)
More Examples
He was as big as an elephant
Her smile was a mile wide
He runs faster than the speed of light

INCORRECT: “I would be satisfied if we made each other true promises of love.”
