Answer:

He was  selfless leader

Explanation:

Cincinatus was a Roman stateman who showed selfless devotion to the Republic in moments of crisis and gave up the power when it was over which allowed to maintain the Republic and not going back to monarchy. George Washington is called the American Cincinatus because he had a similar behavior. He retired when his service had been fulfilled and he also limited the presidential term to two.

How can figurative language help characterize a monster in a story?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Well for one, characterisation is how a writer chooses to reveal a characters personality in a story, through things like physical appearance (shiny hair, blue eyes, nice smile, ect.) and through virtues and faults (brave, attentive, smart - egotistical, bitter, evil.)

Figurative language is basically how you'd describe said chracterisations, through things like personification, hyperbole, metaphors, similes, ect.

So with that being said, figurative language can help characterise a monster by doing more than just saying it's a monster; figurative language can make it /feel/ like a monster to the reader. Figurative language can turn the monster '3-D' (for lack of better words), by saying it has long claws, stinky breath, vicious fangs, a horrifying growl, ect. 

My favourite example of figurative language is actually in the childrens book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, because it uses simple figurative language. Maurice Sendak describes the wild things as so: "They roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.'

Anyway, I hope this helped !! :-)
