This phrase suggests Dee is an abrasive, antagonistic character.
Walker makes this clear through this brief description of Dee. "Scalding" implies burning or blistering -- something hot and painful. "Lye" is a solution used for cleaning, one that causes painful burns if touched.
This brief description truly summarizes Dee's character: angry, abrasive, and antagonistic to her others, especially her family.
Diction and figurative language are both literary terms that are commonly used in writing to demonstrate the tone an author is using. Diction impacts the author's tone by the style of speaking the author chooses to use through the effectiveness of his words. An author may choose to write figuratively, literally, or poetically......Figurative language impacts authors tone and characterization by a writer choosing to write symbolically and dramatically instead of straight forward literal meaning. Characters can range from every day objects to nature.
