All we Karamazovs are such insects, and... that insect lives in you, too. (from The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky) [Metaphor]

A metaphor is a hidden comparison between two things which possess at least any one idea common to each other. The things may be completely different from each other but would have either one characteristic in common to them.

Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything, from nothing first create, O heavy lightness! Serious vanity! (from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare) [Apostrophe]

In a sentence, when a speaker breaks off from pointing one party and instead points the third, the literary device used is said to be an Apostrophe.

I was quaking from head to foot, and could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far. (from Old Times on the Mississippi by Mark Twain) [Hyperbole]

Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement which is not meant to be taken literally. They add comic relief in the sentence. Hyperbole is not a comparison as in metaphor or simile but an overstatement which is not to be taken in literal sense.

What previous indications have there been that she feels a special bond with the minister
Natalija [7]
There are actually many indications in the Scarlet Letter which show us that Pearl feels Dimmesdale is actually her father.

For example:
1. she shows affection towards him like any child would for their parent, thus giving us the impression she feels a special closeness to him - "stole softly towards him, and taking his hand in the grasp of both her own, laid her cheek against it.”

2. she asks Dimmesdale if he will stand on the scaffold along with Hester and herself when she will confess to her sins - meaning that she feels he is somehow included in Hester's sin, which is true, given that he is her father although Hester is married to another man

3. she understands the connection between Hester's scarlet letter on her chest and Dimmesdale's behavior - when asked about why her mother has that letter, she says: "It is for the same reason the minister puts his hand over his heart!”
