Question

His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau; it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in shadows. explain the figurative language .

Answer 1

Well, I'm not sure how many examples you need, but I do see the use of personification. Personification is giving inanimate objects human-like qualities. The cliffs cannot actually dive, and the sea cannot actually lick at the shadows. Hope that this helps you a bit~ :3
