Imagery is descriptive language that creates a picture in the reader’s mind. One example of imagery from the first paragraph of the story uses color and figurative language to describe Della’s reaction to not having enough money to buy a decent Christmas present. The color imagery is burning cheeks, which gives the reader a strong impression that Della was ashamed at asking for lower prices. The sentence also use the phrase figuratively, because her cheeks were not on fire. When she talks of “bulldozing” the shopkeepers, this figurative description reinforces the idea of her personality being the driving force, and her desperation and self-destruction to get her way.
