What are Personifications in A Tale of Two Cities book 2?

Answer 1

There is a great deal of Foreshadowing; nearly every sentence of the wine cask scene is foreshadow. The wine that stained the ground, feet, hands, faces, and people red is representing the bloodshed that will come to all the peasants in the coming revolution. Another Foreshadow is when the man writes "BLOOD" on the wall with the wine. Hunger is Personified as the grievances of the peasants. These grievances (high taxes ect.) are what really caused the revolution.
