Please give an example of a figure of speech in "The Lady, or the Tiger?"

Let us recall that a figure of speech is language in which
one thing is compared to something that seems to be completely different. A figure of
speech is never literally true, but a a good example always suggests a powerful truth to
our imaginations by forcing us to see the similarity between two objects that are
completely unassociated. Figures of speech can be similes, metaphors or
personification.

Thinking about this story, therefore,
there are a number of examples of figurative language to identify. My own favourite
example to pick is the description of the doors in the
arena:

The
king and his court were in their places, opposite the twin doors--those fateful portals,
so terrible in their
similarity.

Note the metaphor
in this figure of speech: the doors are compared to "fateful portals," which helps us to
see how these normal doors, because of the use to which they are put, become symbols of
the destiny of the young lover of the Princess.
