Detalhes da Resposta
An 'Aside' occurs when a speaker on stage mumbles words intended for the audience only. In a play, an "Aside" is a moment when a character speaks directly to the audience, but the other characters on stage do not hear what is being said. The words spoken during an Aside are usually a character's inner thoughts, feelings or intentions that they do not want other characters to hear. It is like the character is breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the audience. As the other characters on stage are not aware of the aside, it is intended only for the audience to hear and understand what is happening in the character's mind.

Detalhes da Resposta
The figure of speech used in the underlined expression is a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is used to describe something else, suggesting a comparison between the two things without using the words "like" or "as." In the underlined expression, the speaker is describing how he felt when he first saw Olivia. He says that he turned into a "hart," which is another word for a male deer. This is a metaphor, as the speaker is not literally turning into a deer, but is using the word to suggest that he was filled with desire and a sense of wildness, like a deer pursuing its prey. The use of the metaphor helps to create a vivid image of the speaker's emotional state and to convey the intensity of his desire for Olivia.

The ''Headstrong potent fault'' is
Detalhes da Resposta
The "headstrong potent fault" referred to in this passage is the speaker's strong and uncontrollable feelings of love for someone who does not feel the same way. They regret having expressed their feelings because the object of their affection is unresponsive and indifferent, leading them to feel foolish and regretful. Despite recognizing their fault in being too open with someone who doesn't care, they feel powerless to change their feelings, and so their love "mocks reproof." Therefore, falling in love is the option that best fits the description of the "headstrong potent fault" in this passage.
