Simile of the daystar
Tristan’s seriousness about life is compared to a rising daystar. The author writes, “He hid as all young people do who never think ahead; he shut his eyes to care and lived for the sake of living. When his life began in earnest to rise like the daystar and look out smiling on the world, he thought-but it did not happen so – that he would always live like this and revel in the sweets of living.”
The simile of honor
The determination of Rivalin de cided is compared to honor. The author writes, “It was not very long after these achievements that Rivalin de cided to travel again, this time for pleasure, and he equipped himself with great magnificent like who aspire honor. All the beggars and stores he would need for a year were taken on board ship.”
The metaphor of Heaven
Heaven is used metaphorically by the author to illustrate the supreme power that oversees human actions. For instance, the author argues that Heaven knows the actions of every human being, and it rewards people according to what they do. The author writes, "Heaven knows that a man must shut his eyes to a great deal; hence, he will often come to grief. If one cannot overlook a hurt, many hurts will grow from it.”
