Personification in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Personification Examples in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight:

Fytte the Fourth

"each hill had a hat, a huge mist-cloak...." See in text (Fytte the Fourth)

In describing the hills, personification is employed by giving them human characteristics; each hill wears a hat and a cloak. Visual imagery is created through the description of mist enveloping the hills.
