Literary devices are a strategy that allows a text to become more meaningful and deeper, which reinforces the message that the text seeks to convey.
Although you haven't shown it, we can see, from similar questions, that this question refers to the poem "Mushrooms" written by Sylvia Plath.
The literary devices that the author uses are figures of speech, which enrich the text and promote a more subjective language. These literary devices are:
- Alliteration: Words with very similar sounds that are close to each other. This device has the function of causing rhythm and highlighting some words. In the poem, this is a device can be found in the fifth stanza with the words “even” and “earless”.
- Enjambment: Occurs when a line of a poem is broken in half and continues to the next line. The purpose is to cause the feeling of interrupted thinking. This device can be found at the beginning of the poem, in the first and second lines of the first stanza.
- Metaphor: The entire poem features metaphors, where two elements are implicitly compared. These comparisons are very profound and can be seen in the fact that the author compares mushrooms with women. The author shows that the growth of mushrooms is equal to the growth of women in a sexist and oppressive society.
- Personification: It is the literary device that allows inanimate objects and animals to assume human characteristics. In the poem, this can be seen when the author states that mushrooms have toes, conscience, noses, ability to move discreetly, among others.
