I would say C: Simile because this compares the feeling of seeing the machine to being stabbed by a dozen awls. Similes use like or as to compare two different objects, so that is what leads me to believe this. It cannot be a symbol, because that does not represent anything. It cannot be personification because it does not take a nonliving object and give it human features. I would say that's it a metaphor, but it uses as, so I firmly believe that it is a simile..

Trace Jane Eyre’s development during her time at Lowood. What role does Helen play? What role does Miss Temple play?
Crank
Helen was a symbol of acceptance a way for Jane to connect with someone who experienced the same things as she did whenever she was at her original home. Miss Temple was a symbol of acceptance as well and a little more important because she was an adult who believed in Jane's academic ability disregarding some of the things that others liked to point out about Jane. Her time at Lowood is important to the development of her character specifically because of these two people who helped show her understanding.
