Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Belle used figures of speech personification and metaphor.

Explanation:

Belle uses the metaphor when she claims that a golden idol has replaced her. With that, she creates a new meaning between herself and the idol, placing it as something subjunctive and with a deeper and figurative meaning.

In a similar way she uses personification when she says that the idol has replaced her, because an idol is an inanimate object, which is unable to replace anything and no one, but she perbonifies it, making him gain the ability to replace it.
