"Fame is a Bee," by Emily Dickinson Fame is a bee, It has a song— It has a sting— Ah, too, it has a wing. Of what literary device is this poem an example?

Respuesta :

Metaphor. Metaphor because this poem is saying fame is a Bee, directly it is comparing fame to Bee's. 

Answer: Metaphor

A metaphor is a literary device that directly compares two dissimilar things that are alike in one respect. In this poem, Dickinson is comparing fame with a bee. She thinks both have a song (a positive, beautiful side) as well as a sting (a major flaw, or an element that can cause you harm). Finally, they also have a wing (they can elevate you). This is an example of a metaphor.
