Choose a figure of speech e g metaphor personif... - SS3 Literature General Overview of Literature(Revision) Question

Choose a figure of speech (e.g., metaphor, personification) and explain its use in literature. Provide examples from a literary work you have read to illustrate how the chosen figure of speech enhances the text's meaning and impact.

 Let's take metaphor as an example. A metaphor directly equates one thing with another to create a vivid image or convey a deeper meaning. In Shakespeare's "All the world's a stage," from his play "As You Like It," the world is metaphorically compared to a stage. This metaphor serves to emphasize that life is like a theatrical performance with distinct stages (infancy, childhood, etc.), highlighting the idea that people play different roles and undergo various experiences throughout their lives.
