    Please help!

    I need to find quotes for the following words in Act V of Hamlet. I've already done a lot but im stuck on these words

    Metonymy
    Synecdoche
    Metaphor
    Simile
    Personification
    Apostrophe
    Ambiguity
    Allusion
    Understatement
    Irony
    Assonance
    Oxymoron
    Alliteration
    Onomatopoeia
    Pun
    Consonance

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Oh, oh, let's play a game called "how many of these exist in the interaction between Hamlet and Yorik.


    Metonymy
    Synecdoche
    Metaphor
    Personification
    Apostrophe
    Ambiguity
    Allusion
    Understatement
    Irony


    There could very well be assonance and consonance as well (i'm not going to check)

    Anything not on my list could be found before this part, when the clowns are talking.
    I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...

    I'll play; it's fun.

    I think I found metonymy in this riddle in scene 1:

    GRAVEDIGGER
    What is he that builds stronger than either the mason, the shipwright, or the carpenter?

    OTHER
    The gallows-maker, for that frame outlives a thousand tenants.
