What is impersonation?
Impersonation is the transfer of a person’s properties to inanimate objects and abstract concepts. To create imagery and expressiveness of speech, various artistic means are used, among which one can name personification. At the heart of the emergence of personification lies the transfer of the properties and qualities of man to inanimate objects and phenomena of the surrounding reality. In his work, the writer, using impersonation, can tell us that the forest has woken up (compare: the child is awake), the reed whispers (the girl whispers), the darkness crept up (the scout crept up).
Examples of personifications in the literature
Look for examples of personifications in poetry. We read from Sergei Yesenin:
Small Woods. The steppe was given.
The light of the moon is at all ends.
Here again suddenly sobbed
The bells did not rang, but burst into tears, as women cry, if they have grief.
FI Tyutchev used the personification for greater expressiveness of poetry:
Azure heaven laughs,
Night washed with a thunder-storm,
And between the mountains dewy winds
The valley is a light stripe.
Lazur laughs, as a child or any person laughs with pleasure.
Incarnation helps a writer or a poet create an artistic image, bright and unique, expands the possibilities of the word in conveying a picture of the world, sensations and feelings, in expressing one’s attitude towards the depicted one.
