In act v of a midsummer night's dream, quince presents the prologue for “pyramus and thisbe.” when he finishes, lysander says:
he hath rid his prologue like a rough colt; he knows
not the stop. a good moral, my lord: it is not
enough to speak, but to speak true.
which tone does the simile “rid his prologue like a rough colt” create?
it creates a surprised tone because quince omitted the prologue from his speech.
it creates an angry tone because quince treated the horse in the play roughly.
it creates a humorous tone by comparing quince’s performance to an untrained animal.
it creates an adventurous tone by comparing quince’s performance to a wild horse.
