In the excerpt, Joyce uses a metaphor when he compares the girl's hair to a "soft rope." A metaphor directly compares two different things without using "like" or "as," which differentiates it from a simile.
Use this excerpt from "Araby" by James Joyce to answer the question.
Her dress swung as she moved her body and the soft rope of her hair tossed from side to side.
What type of figurative language does Joyce use when he compares the girl's hair to a "soft rope"?
