In this excerpt, Odysseus is compared to a bat.  The excerpt features a simile that states ""I sprang for the great fig tree, catching on like a bat under a bough.""  In the first person, Odysseus is comparing himself to a bat that is trapped.  He has no way to escape.  His circumstances are foreboding, and his prospects are dim."

the subject of love in the poem "ashes of night", is an example of which poetic device? simile, metaphor, hyperbole or personifi
Dmitry [639]
I think the poem in question is actually "Ashes of Life" by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

If your question pertains to the subject of the poem as a whole, I believe the correct answer to your question is B. metaphor.

Metaphor means that a thing is not to be regarded in its literal sense, but as representative of something else. In this case, there are no ashes in the poem. But they are a metaphor of what's left of her life now that her beloved has abandoned her. We can also take this as an example of imagery, suggesting that she was burning with love, and now only ashes have remained.

However, if you take a closer look at some of the lines, such as "<span>Love has gone and left me", it is a personification - giving human attributes to animals, abstract notions, or non-living things.</span>
