Similes, metaphors, symbolism, and personification are examples of frequent figures of speech. In his poem "She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways," William Wordsworth used various figures of speech. This essay will discuss three of these figures: simile, metaphor, and personification. A simile is a comparison that is made by stating one thing is like another or similar thing. In "She dwelt among the untrodden ways," Wordsworth compares Daffodil to a flower that grows only in England and Wales to describe Daffodil as a rare flower. The word "dwelt" means "to live." Thus, the simile states that Daffodil is like a flower that lives only in England because they are both unique flowers that can only be found there. A metaphor is when one thing is said to be something else but not really it. In "Daffodils," Wordsworth says that Daffodils "came dancing through the daffodil-meadow" to refer to how they danced at dawn along the riverbank. The word "dancing" can also mean "flowing with speed," so this part of the sentence explains that the daffodils were rushing toward the river to be washed away by the current.
