What does the figurative language (used by the guard who arrests antigone) reveal about how antigone feels?

The purpose of using figurative language, as opposed to literal language, is as follows: the use of figurative speech allows the reader to imagine what the author means when he writes a sentence or a statement. Figurative speech adds strength and depth to an authored work. A good example of figurative speech is the following:

The literal version is: The sun rose at 4:45 am. 

The figurative version could be something along the lines of:
The girl stood and watched as a golden globe rose out of the sea. 

To be honest i really don’t know but ask some one else they will tell u
