no
Similes
There are none.
In W.W. Jacobs' "The Monkey's Paw," similes are used to enhance imagery and emotions. For example, when the author describes the night as "dark as a black cat," it emphasizes the eerie atmosphere. Another example is when Mr. White's fear is compared to "a cold sweat," illustrating his deep anxiety about the consequences of using the paw. These similes contribute to the story's tension and mood.
There are none.
Star cross'd lovers and death mark'd love are examples of metaphors? No they are not. "Bury their parents' strife" maybe. There are no similes in the prologue.
the worm slimed as slow as a turtle
A monkey - a bigger monkey - an even bigger monkey - a monkey standing - a monkey walking - a human. :)
Some examples of similes in the book "Wonder" include "My brain feels like a maze, and I have to figure it out." and "His face was as wide-eyed as a baby's on Christmas morning."
That cat is as fast as a turkey on thanksgiving day.
I'm happy as a flea on a dog.
