You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things. The figure of speech used here is
a.
Simile
b.
Personification
c.
Metaphor
Correct Answer
d.
Alliteration
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
The correct answer is Metaphor. The speaker refers to the people directly as 'blocks' and 'stones' to imply their insensitivity, which is a direct comparison without using 'like' or 'as' (which would be a Simile). Personification attributes human qualities to inanimate objects, and Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds; neither applies here.
