Question

Is the following more aptly described as a simile or an analogy? "She walks in beauty, like the night"

Answer 1

This i believe is an analogy. If it was a simile, it would compare her directly to the night. Instead, the way she walks and what she is walking in is compared to the night.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The answer is Simile because it a comparison between the Woman's beauty and the night using like or as.
