Therefore, personification allows writers to convey meaning in a creative and poetic way. Overall, as a literary device, personification functions as a means of creating imagery and connections between the animate and inanimate for readers. Personification allows writers to attribute human characteristics to nonhuman things without turning those things into human-like characters, as is done with anthropomorphism.

For example, Mickey Mouse is a character that illustrates anthropomorphism in that he wears clothes and talks like a human, though he is technically an animal. There are several examples of this literary device in popular culture and literature.

This is reflected in Greek dramas in which gods would appear and involve themselves in human actions and relationships.
