The preposition in the sentence above is beside because it adds additional detail or information to the statement. Prepositions are very important parts or features of a statement because they give necessary and important information in the sentence making it more comprehensible. These are words that simply introduce details to the readers. However, prepositions are not stand-alone in a sentence because it works best in a group that is called prepositional phrase. Prepositions can either give additional information or make the statement easy to understand.
The figurative language is personification.
The meaning behind this quote and use of figurative language is rich. It means that "we" (those that are speaking) suffered slowly during said draught, and time continued passing while the days blended together. By 'day after day the pitiless sun blazed down,' the narrator means that every time a day passed and the sun set, it was sad and pathetic - meaning so little. The sun is personified in order to add depth and information to the text, which allows the reader to grasp the idea and mood the author is trying to convey to the audience.
