Similes

Figurative Language 

One example of figurative language in the novel, Ethan Frome is the use of similes.  For example, the narrator describes the way Mattie's face looked to Ethan as "like a window that has caught the sunset."  Also, the narrator desribes the way Ethan and Mattie act together as "her wonder and his laughter ran together like spring rills in a thaw."
