Is "freedom rot in hell" a hyperbole?
Its from the lyric, "Won't let my freedom rot in hell" by Beyonce.
I thinks it is a hyperbole because the phrase is being exaggerated but I know its not personification because its not been given a human character. Can someone please help me? Please and thank you

How about a metaphor?
It could be that too. But isn't a metaphor in placed when two unlike objects is being compared with the words was and is??
A metaphor is the comparison of two unlike objects. No specific words are used (not like or as). On second thought, personification looks likely. We think of people rotting in hell. This gives freedom a human characteristic.
