Which literary device is employed in the following sentence from Herman Melville’s short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener"? And here Bartleby makes his home, sole spectator of a solitude which he has seen all populous—a sort of innocent and transformed Marius brooding among the ruins of Carthage!.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The literary device in use in this sentence is metaphor.

In the sentence, the author explains how Bartleby is looking at an area that is practically empty now, but used to be busy with people ("sole spectator of a solitude which he has seen all populous"). He then directly compares Bartleby with Marius, who had looked upon a once-busy, but now-destroyed, Carthage.

If the sentence had read
"And here Bartleby... all populous - like a sort of innocent and transformed..."
then it would have been a simile, not a metaphor.

However, because the author simply states that Bartleby IS "a sort of innocent and transformed Marius", without a word like "like" before it, it is a metaphor.

True or False? The line "Fainting I follow, I leave off therefore" contains both a caesura and alliteration.

Answers

This is true. The line "Fainting I follow, I leave off therefore" contains both a caesura and alliteration that are each offset by the other--contributing to the power of both.

The correct answer is TRUE. The given sentence is an example of both ALLITERATION and CAESURA.

CAESURA is a figure of speech that introduces a pause in a line of a verse, it is used for metrical purposes, and it can be marked with the symbol // or may be not marked. For example, "to be or not to be, // that is the question" (William Shakespeare, "Hamlet").

ALLITERATION is also a figure of speech that consists of the repetition of a sound at the beginning of words.

In the example provided we have the repetition of the sound (f) in "fainting" and "follow".
