What is the hyperbole of the poem bangle sellers
Answers
Explanation:
Sarojini Naidu’s poem The Bangle Sellers is rich in the use of imageries and other poetic devices and figures of speech. Those are listed below.
Simile:
Simile is a figure of speech where one thing is directly compared to another using prepositions like ‘as’ and ‘like’.
Silver and blue as the mountain mist,
Some are flushed like the buds that dream
Some are like fields of sunlit corn,
Some like the flame of her marriage fire,
Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear.
Metaphor
Metaphor is indirect comparison of two different things where there is a point of similarity.
Rainbow-tinted circles of light
Here, the bangles are compared to a circle of light glowing with different colours.
Consonance
Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds in neighbouring words.
Or, rich with the hue of his heart’s desire
Some are meet for a maiden’s wrist
These can also be taken as examples of alliteration (repetition of consonant sound at the beginning of nearby words) which is a type of consonance.
Imagery
The poem “The Bangle Sellers” is, as already told, full of imageries. The poet has compared the bangles of different colours
