How can figurative language help characterize a monster in a story?

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 !! :-)

Which of the following hooks is an effective way to introduce a literary analysis of Herman Melville's use of symbolism in Moby
Veseljchak [2.6K]

A voyage across the sea of literature can often reveal new depths of understanding – such is the case with Herman Melville's Moby Duck, a classic text containing iconic symbolism that has endured through generations.

What is symbolism?
Symbolism
is the use of symbols to represent ideas, emotions, or concepts. These symbols can range from objects, characters, or colors that are used to represent a deeper meaning or idea. For example, a white dove is often seen as a symbol of freedom and peace, while a red rose may symbolize love and romance. Symbolism can be found in literature, art, music, and other forms of communication and expression. It is an effective way to convey complex ideas to an audience with just a few simple iconic images.

In this essay, I will analyze how Melville's use of symbolism has shaped the understanding of Moby Duck.
