Is this personification hyperbole onomatopoeia or simile??

Answer 1

Personification

Step-by-step explanation:

Personification is a literary or linguistic device. It is when we assign human characteristics or traits to a non-human thing. "The night" is an abstract thing -- a period of time -- not a person. It cannot "tiptoe," "wait," or "hold its breath." These are things a person could do! Therefore, this is personification.
