What is it called in poetry when a human emotion is given a physical form?
Not a symbol, but I’m doing an analysis on The Black Panther by John Wheelock, and I need to know what the specific poetry term is for this.
Not an allegory, that is when a story is an extended metaphor for something in society.
Just a metaphor is way to general.
And personification is giving a nonliving thing human characteristics, this is giving an abstract emotion the form of an animal.
Allegory.
Take 2. an allegory is not necessarily a “story.” Any concrete representation of an abstract idea comes under the heading of allegory. Also, an “extended metaphor” is called a “conceit,” which is typical of 17th century verse.
