Miss tesman. yes, hedda, here i am, in mourning and forlorn; for now my poor sister has at last found peace. hedda. i have heard the news already, as you see. tesman sent me a card. miss tesman. yes, he promised me he would. but nevertheless i thought that to hedda—here in the house of life—i ought myself to bring the tidings of death . . oh, her end was so calm, so beautiful. and then she had the unspeakable happiness of seeing george once more—and bidding him good-bye.—has he not come home yet?

i think the answer is invented words, rhyming knack, alliteration, and, metaphor.

the whisper is the answer, hope this : )

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.
