a christmas carol figurative language

Dickens uses figurative language to add depth and meaning to the story. He uses metaphors, similes, and personification to create vivid images and bring the characters and their emotions to life. Some examples of figurative language in "A Christmas Carol" include: "The foggy, frosty morning air was laden with an eager and joyous sound of bells" - This simile compares the sound of the bells to the sound of a joyous person. "The shadows of the darkening evening mingled with the street lamps" - This personification gives the shadows a human quality.
