Question #N630

The speaker’s use of figurative language—specifically, the metaphor comparing the "night" to a "dark ocean"—is effective because it conveys the speaker’s sense of loneliness and isolation. The speaker is alone and surrounded by darkness, and the metaphor helps to evoke this feeling of being lost and alone. The speaker’s use of figurative language is also effective because it helps to create a more vivid and memorable image in the reader’s mind. The darkness is not just a physical darkness but also a mental darkness, and the metaphor helps to emphasize this.
