Concept:An apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the speaker directly addresses someone who is absent, an abstract idea, or a non-living thing as though it could hear and understand.
Explanation:The line opens with the exclamations
“Oh spite! Oh Hell!!”.
Here, the speaker is not merely expressing anger; he is calling out directly to the abstract ideas of spite and Hell.
The words
“I see you are all bent” continue this direct address by using the pronoun
you.
This shows the speaker is talking to the forces of spite and Hell as if they were listening.
The line is not an
epitaph, because it is not written on a tombstone.
It is not an
epigram, because it is not a short witty saying.
It is not an
allusion, because it does not make an indirect reference to another person, event, or text.
Thus, the device used is apostrophe, since the speaker invokes and addresses an abstract force directly.
