- "Why do you sit so sadly your face the colour of clay." - this is a metaphor as his face is not the colour.
- "Matthew says she was guiltless." - This proves he was irrational.
- "With her crippled lover." - Shows he is crippled. We think the fact that Matthew was crippled mad him paranoid, and thought if he wasn't good enough for Charlotte no-one was.
- "In the April rain" - suggests it is damp and wet, it is also uses poetic fallacy to set a mood.
