Question

Identify the personification in the following excerpt:

ROMEO
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!

What light through yonder window breaks?
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Answer 1

Its probably "Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon".

Answer 2

Answer: Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). In the given excerpt from "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, we can see an example of personification in the phrase "Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon" because it is giving the sun and the moon (non human objects) the ability to killl and to be envious respectively (human characteristics).
