Figures of speech in Jane Eyre?

Answer 1

Personification and hyperbole: Chapter 27: "…every breath from the hills so full of life, that it seemed whoever respired it, though dying, might revive.

Hills cannot breathe, and the wind cannot heal.

Personification: Chapter 9 "…And now vegetation matured with vigor; Lowood shook loose its tresses; it became all green, all flowery; its great elm, ash, and oak skeletons were restored to majestic life…"

Lowood is a school, and it does not have tresses (hair) and would not be able to really shake them.

Answer 2

Some figures of speech found in Jane Eyre include similes (comparisons using "like" or "as"), metaphors (implied comparisons not using "like" or "as"), symbolisms (objects or actions representing deeper meanings), and personifications (attributing human characteristics to non-human entities). These literary devices enhance the imagery and convey emotions and themes in the novel.
