More at school we have all heard of such a thing as a personification.What is it?Many people have probably forgotten.What is the literary trope, which is used and that it is typical.Now we'll try to remember and more detailed look into the matter.
Avatar: The definition and description
often this literary technique is used in fairy tales.Impersonation is giving thoughts, feelings, emotions, speech, or action phenomena of inanimate objects and animals.Thus, objects can be moved independently, nature is a living world, and the animals speak in human voices and able to think so, as it can do in reality, only people.Origin impersonation has its roots back in the ancient world, when everything is based on myths.It was the first time in myths and there are talking animals, as well as giving things uncharacteristic for their properties.Thus one of the main tasks is approaching personalization capabilities inanimate world to those that are characteristic of living.
Examples impersonation
more clearly understand the essence of impersonation can cite a few examples:
- wind howls (in fact, the wind can howl, but with the help of impersonation described by its loud noise).
- weeping willow (willow is a tree, and therefore can not cry, it's just a description of spreading its flexible branches that resemble a relentlessly pouring tears).
- playing guitar (by itself can not play the guitar, it only emits sounds when it is played on someone).
- Nature asleep (phenomenon, when it's quiet and peaceful, called the sleepy state of nature, although she can not sleep, in fact, simply the wind blows, and it seems as if everything around bewitched sleep).
- Thunder rolled across the sky (it does not have carts to ride on it, actually made a sound of thunder, which spread in space).
- dense forest thoughtful (in the forest quietly and silently that supposedly characterizes his thoughtfulness and gloom).
- Goat sitting in bundles (he eats hay, his head down and not taking it, not literally sat in a bundle and sat in it).
- Winter came (walk it, in fact, can not just come another time of the year. Moreover, the verb "to come" is also a personification).
What part of speech is the personification
What does it mean?As an impersonation (words imparting the subject of lively) often acts as a verb, which may be either before or after the noun that it describes, rather, it leads him into action, animates it and gives the impression that an inanimate object can also fully existas a person.But it is not just a verb, and the part of speech that takes on a lot more functions, making it out of the ordinary in a bright and mysterious, unusual and at the same time able to talk about many things that characterizes techniques impersonation.
Personalization as a literary trope
That literature is the source of the most colorful and expressive phrases, animate objects and phenomena.In another way, the trails in the literature also referred to as personalization, the epitome of anthropomorphism and a metaphor or humanization.It is often used in poetry to create a more fulfilling and melodic forms.To make the most fantastic characters heroism and cause for admiration they often also use impersonation.What is a literary agent, that any other, such as an epithet or an allegory - all serve to embellishment effects to create a more impressive reality.It suffices to consider only a simple literary phrase: "Night blooming golden lights."How much of her poetry and harmony, flight of thought and reverie, colorful words and brightness of expression.We could just say that the night sky lit stars, but such a phrase would be full of platitudes.And only one single personification can dramatically change the sound of all the seemingly familiar and understandable phrases.It should also be noted that as the personification of the literature appeared thanks to the author's desire to bring the description of the characters of folklore to the heroism and greatness of those referred to in ancient Greek myths.
use of personification in everyday life
Examples impersonation we hear themselves to use in everyday life almost every day, but do not think that's exactly it.Should I use them in a speech, or it's better to avoid?At its core are embodiments mythopoetical character, but for a long period of its existence has become an integral part of the usual and everyday speech.It all started with the fact that the conversation began to use quotations from poems and other literary works, which gradually turned into an all familiar phrases.It seems to be the usual expression "watch must" is also a personification.It is used both in everyday life and in writing and literature, and is actually a typical personification.Fairy tale and myth - is the main source, in other words, the foundation of the metaphors used in the conversation today.
reincarnated personification
What is it?One can explain this statement from the perspective of the evolution of personalization.As a means of expression of the embodiment in ancient times was used as a religious and mythological welcome.Now it is used for the transmission capacity of living beings and inanimate objects and phenomena used in verse.That is personalization gradually acquired a poetic character.Nowadays, there are many disputes and conflicts on this issue, as specialists of different scientific spheres interpret the character impersonation differently.Reincarnated or customary personification still has not lost its importance, although described from different points of view.Without it is difficult to imagine our speech and, in fact, modern life.
