<u>Answer:</u>

These lines from Emily Dickenson’s poem “I Heard a Fly Buzz – When I Died” show the usage of synecdoche:

<em>“The Eyes around – had wrung them dry –  </em>

<em>And Breaths were gathering firm  </em>

<em>For the last Onset – when the King  </em>

<em>Be witnessed – in the Room –“ </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Synecdoche is a figure of speech used to represent a part as a whole or vice versa. Writers and poets use this figure of speech to elevate the quality of the language and to make the sentences more interesting. It helps them to deliver their thoughts strongly. Here, in the stanza of four lines, Dickinson's use of synecdoche points out to the people in the room who are watching the speaker and weeping. So the use of this figure of speech helps the poet to maintain the rhythm of the poem and communicate in just a few words.
