Love is often portrayed in movies and books as a fairy-tale, where love concurs everything. But love can also cause pain and disappointment if your needs are not met, and you and your partner cannot see eye to eye.

Uddrag
The style of writing in the lines 76-88 is fully stuffed with figurative language, detailed descriptions and interesting sentence structures.
In the first sentence we meet figurative language “as silent and as fluid as the snake itself, the snake catcher moves in behind the phyton.”(p. 2 ll. 76)
This is a comparison, connected with the conjection “as”, thatdraws the first parallel between the snakecatcher and the snakeitself.
There’s a clear meaning to using this rhetorical device because it emphasizes the symbolism between the snake and snake catcher, as a phallus and a symbol of reproduction.
