Well their is a bunch of things you could compare the way women are presented,how race was addressed ,the standard morals of the 50s and 60s to present times, their clothing, technology, how they talked etc
Writers and poets use personification to bring inanimate things to life, so that their nature and actions are understood in a better way. Because it is easier for us to relate to something that is human or that possesses human traits.
Hope this helps :)
I believe they die or some kind of sluhtter
