RHETORIC OF THE STORY
Personification: In this story the writer represents
“death” as a human and a woman. And at end of the
story the merchant made a conversation with death. In
this story “death” is a lifeless idea but it represents a
human. So, it is a cause of personification.
Alliteration: The consonant sound “t” (trembling, and
tells) and “s” (start of surprise) repeats about two
times in this story. So, it is a cause of alliteration.

RHETORIC OF THE STORY
Irony: In the story the servant meets with Death at Baghdad then
he lends a horse from the merchant and flees to Samarra. The
servant thought that he will escape from death, but he doesn’t
know, death had an appointment with him in Samarra. This
situation actually means opposite of its surface meaning. So, it is a
cause of irony.
Symbol: In this story “a woman” refers Death. So, it is cause of
symbol.
