Answer 2

Transferred Epithet Examples

An example of a transferred epithet is: "I had a wonderful day." The day is not in itself wonderful. The speaker had a wonderful day. The epithet "wonderful" actually describes the kind of day the speaker experienced. Some other examples of transferred epithets are "cruel bars," "sleepless night," and "suicidal sky."

The bars, presumably installed in a prison are inanimate objects, and therefore, can't be cruel. The person who installed the bars is cruel. The bars merely serve to foster the person's cruel intentions. Can a night be sleepless? No, it's the person experiencing a night during which he or she cannot sleep who is sleepless (in Seattle or anywhere else). Likewise, a sky can't be suicidal—but a dark, ominous sky might add to the depressed feelings of a suicidal individual.

Another example would be: "Sara has an unhappy marriage." Marriage is ephemeral; an intellectual construct—it can neither be happy or unhappy because a marriage is not capable of having emotions. Sara (and presumably her partner), on the other hand, could have an unhappy marriage. This quote, then, is a transferred epithet: It transfers the modifier, "unhappy," to the word "marriage."
