The best answer is metaphor. In this excerpt, Joyce directly compares the girl's hair to a "soft rope" without using "like" or "as," which distinguishes it as a metaphor rather than 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”?
