- This is an example of figurative language, it is a hyperbole and personification. "A thousand sprites" and their actions are an exaggeration and shows the importance placed on Clarissa's beauty and the supposed gravity of the situation. This sprites, being supernatural beings, are personified as they "repair" to the lock of hair, "blow," and "twitch." It just adds to the fantastical and exaggerated tone. The theme that is emerging from this is showing satire on social triviality and creates a humorous aspect as well as thought provoking to the matter at hand.
- Libisema: 3
- This is an example of figurative language, it is personification by "fatal engine" is the scissors and the Sylph "interposing" itself is personified human action. Hyperbole by the Sylph being cut in twain and elevates the act of cutting her hair. Repetition for when it said "For ever and for ever!" it emphasizes the act and how its serious. It highlights the theme by the absurd elevation of trivial matters in society and how appearance is a big deal.
