Answer:

The theme, simply put, is fear and its effect on one's mind - particularly a fear of the unknown.

Explanation:

"The Premature Burial" is a short story about one man's extreme fear of being buried alive.  He struggles from an internal conflict (him vs. his mind), as he obsessively imagines himself being buried alive over and over.  It is worth noting that the narrator frequently suffers from catalepsy (loss of sensation and consciousness similar to death) hence, fearing a cataleptic state will make others believe he is dead.

c. metaphor

In the above passage, the figurative language that exists is in the form of the following words:  “starless midnight of racism and war.”  We know the figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present.  We know the figurative language is not personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human things, and this is not occurring here.  We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an exaggeration here.  Thus, we can conclude that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons that are not literally applicable.  That said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war, it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.
