Question

Read the excerpt below. What figurative language is Belle using here to describe what has happened between them?

Answer 1

Answer:

Metaphor & personification

Explanation:

When he asks Belle, “what idol had displaced you?” She answers, “a golden one” which is a metaphor. If she had said, one as gold as a shiny ring, that would have been a simile. She personifies an idol in the third sentence, by stating an idol has displaced her. Idols can be inanimate or animate, but in this case the idol is inanimate, and she personifies it. Hope this helps.
