4. Why is Personification Used?
It creates virtual imaginary in a manner so beautiful,that you
are tempted to imagine what you read.
The use of this literary device gives a break from the
monotonous language that you may be used to
reading all the time.
By giving human qualities to an object, it serves to emphasize that
object, to give the object its own identity, and explain its place in the
piece of literature.
The use of this figure of speech also enables the object, action, or
concept that is personified, to communicate with the reader.
