The answer to the blank is: figure.

A figure of speech or rhetorical figure is a phrase or word that makes use of figurative language (as opposed to literal language, figurative language deviates from the conventional meaning —the dictionary definition, for example— of a word in order to deepen the sense or meaning of the word by means of interpretation).

A figure of speech is meant to carry the expression further than its literal meaning by inventive means such as the ones that can be found in any metaphor or simile, like: your eyes are like diamonds.

<span>Melville’s description of Ahab’s scar in this excerpt from ''Moby ick'' best develops the theme of: the ruling of man's present by his past wounds. This excerpt clearly shows that the scar that character attained in the past still has an influence on his life. The character feels the presence of the scar as if it was freshly got, and all this descriptive language stands as a metaphor of symbolic meaning of people's scars in their life and fate.<span>
