Answer:
In Civil Disobedience, Thoreau uses a lot many mechanical metaphors especially to describe about the government and its functioning.
He describes the State as a machine and this points towards dehumanizing effects, particularly with respect to the ill treatment of the slaves.
The metaphors are a part of Thoreau's thinking which oscillates between natural and artificial, social theories like the government, the corporations or the churches.
