Question

When Don John says he would "rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in his grace," he speaks about himself using which type of figurative language? A. Personification B. Sarcasm C. Metaphor D. Simile

Answer 1

PF Students: C. Metaphor

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. metaphor.

Metaphor is a figure of speech where you are comparing something with something else, without the use of the words such as like or as (because that would be a simile). Personification is when you give non-human entities human characteristics. Having this in mind, the correct answer is metaphor - Don John is comparing himself to a canker in a hedge.
