In the first 10 lines of the poem ‘ Invictus’ , we find the usage of several figure of speech.
In the second line, the night has been presented ‘black as pit’ which is an example of Simile.
On the fourth line there is an example of Metaphor when the poet declares his soul to be ‘unquenchable’.
Apart from that, ‘clutch of circumstance’ is an example of personification.
