Shakespeare uses metaphors in Romeo and Juliet. An example is “like fire and powder, the sweetest honey in loathsome In his own deliciousness” this metaphor means honey is good but not too much is like with Romeo loving Juliet but loving Juliet too much for Romeo is bad.

This is a little confusing because you’ve referred both to a metaphor and a simile here. I’d encourage you to deal with each feature one at a time – even when they’re both trying to convey the same meaning like in this quotation.
You’ve done a good job of using a clear quotation and putting it within quotation marks.
