you fit into me

“You fit into me!” What a good and positive thing to say about someone! Wouldn’t you feel good if someone said that about you? The speaker does not say much but his words are painful and hurtful, “like a hook into an eye”(2). The speaker is able to accomplish this through the use of hyperbole. The exaggeration used helps the speaker to make a point and quickly. Because of the speakers frankness the audience gets a feel of this speaker. The speaker sets off a theme of extreme hate and dislike. He is serious about what he says and it is scary. Instead of rambling on and on about his dislike for this person the speaker is able to say it in four lines, which leaves the reader mystified and wondering who this speaker is.
