'torture'- Hyperbole to reflect Mme Loisel's emotional drama
paragraph ending in 'desired by all women'- This paragraph of description is richly, descriptive and includes alliteration. The effect is to shwo how Mme Loisel pays more attention to her dream parlour than to her real life. Alliteration of d, f, e.
