please anyone! im begging you

 

[LifeBoats]

The only thing I can really think of is juxtaposition. The quote juxtaposes 'beauty' with 'horror and disgust' mainly to exemplify the extremity of the change.

 

[theloorloor]

anyone else?

"the beauty of my dreams vanished, breathless horrors and disgust filled my heart"

Its from Frankenstein

"Beauty of my dreams" is personification I think
"breathless horrors", also personification.
So repetition of personification?

 

[theloorloor]

hey you sure "beauty of my dreams" is a personfication?
can anyone confirm this?

 

[carpe_diem]

As LifeBoats said, I think it's just juxtaposition. Plus, (I'm presuming this is for an essay) you do not need a technique for every quote. Some quotes do not have techniques.
I think only "breathless horrors" would be personification.

maybe not but I'm sure breathless horrors is

Breathless horrors is personification and juxtaposition of beauty.

 

[Bobbo1]

As already mentioned "Breathless horrors filled my heart" is personification (double) and this is contrasted/juxtaposed with "beauty". I guess you could also throw in imagery if it links to some of the connecting sentences.

 

[addoil]

Btw, juxtaposition is only when the words are directly beside each other; otherwise it is contrast

[SanjoyM]

positive connotations of" beauty", juxtaposed against the negative connotations of "horrors" and "disgust"
"Beauty" and "horror" - Binary or polar opposites/opposition
Personification
Gothic imagery

 

[HybridKath]

Possibly "beauty", and "disgust" being emotive language.
