What type of figurative language is represented in the following quote?
"O God, I have an Ill-divining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art so low,
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb."
A. foreshadowing
B. hyperbole
C. understatement
D. metaphor
The answer is an understatement because understatement is the presentation of something being smaller or less important than how it is and God which is considered as a supreme or mighty being in Christianity is being portrayed through comparison to a dead person in a tomb, and this degrades Him resulting in an understatement.
