Answer 4

Quote 1-This is a metaphor and symbolism of ‘incantations’. The man’s head is full of these spells. He is being tolled what to do and can’t think for himself.
Quote 2-Juxtaposition and Volta. The Volta is there to show us what we did not expect. Just like in London the people are being controlled by the state media and propaganda.
Quote 3-Juxtaposition and symbolism of ‘die’. By staying alive this man has ended up killing himself because no one talks to him and no one acknowledges him.
