Abstract :
Abstract The feeling of surprise is frequently objectified in English fiction by employing a variety of linguistic devices. Personification, descriptive adjectives, and metaphorical language can all be examples of this. The description of a character's facial expression, such as "her eyebrows shot up in surprise" or "his eyes bulged with amazement," is an illustration of this. These lexical devices allow the reader to clearly picture the character's response to an unexpected circumstance. Furthermore, the author is able to provide the reader a more captivating and immersive reading experience by objectifying the sensation of amazement.
