The type of figurative language Joyce uses when he compares the girl’s hair to a “soft rope” is metaphor. Unlike a simile, which would use "like" or "as" for comparison, a metaphor directly states that one thing is another.
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”?
