Answer and Explanation:

You did not provide the passage to which this question refers, for this reason, I will analyze the literary devices in the work as a whole. I hope it helps.

In most of the text, Shakespeare uses white verses that are those verses that do not have a rhyme. It does this to make the storyline more credible and allow human characters to speak more in a way that is realistic, allowing viewers to identify with them.

Shakespeare also makes a strong use of iambic pentameter, to show the characters that belong to the most noble and high social classes. That's because the iambic pentameter was a sophisticated way of using rhythm in a text.

Symbolism, on the other hand, was used to create a subjective, mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere, as it allowed the public to have different interpretations and to reason about the real meaning of what was happening.
