Personification – The attribution of human qualities to lifeless objects or abstract ideas.

Personification (ব্যক্তিরূপ দান):

  • A figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstract concepts are endowed with human characteristics or life.

  • এটি লেখায় জড় বা নির্জীব বস্তুকে মানবীয় বৈশিষ্ট্য প্রদানের মাধ্যমে জীবন্ত ও অভিব্যক্তিশীল করে তোলে।

  • Writers often use personification to create vivid imagery and make descriptions more engaging.

Example:

“There lies the port: the vessel puffs her sail.”
(Tennyson: “Ulysses”)
Here, the ship is described as if it were a living being, giving it human-like qualities.
