Question

How does figurative language, including simile, metaphor, personification, and apostrophe, affect the meaning of a literary work?

Answer 1

Figurative language is mostly used to leave a long lasting impression of something. Writers create images using figurative language so as to have us analyze and observe them in more detail. All of this is especially true of poets and poems who use metaphors, personification, and other narrative devices, so as to convey meaning almost all the time.
