Question

What figure of speech does Dickinson use in these lines from her poem ? Because could not stop for Death He kindly stopped for me ; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality A. simile B. metaphor personification D. hyperbole

Answer 1

Answer:

C. personification

Explanation:

"Personification" is a figure of speech which gives human characteristics or qualities to non-humans.

The lines stated above from Emily Dickinson's poem gives "Death" the characteristic of a human as she stated "He kindly stopped for me." This means "Death" stopped for her when in fact, death cannot do that because it is not a human.

So, this explains the answer.
