The portrayal of Death as a carriage driver in Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I could not stop for Death" is an example of personification.

Personification is a figure of speech where human qualities or characteristics are given to inanimate objects, abstract ideas, or animals. In this case, Death is presented as a courteous gentleman who takes the speaker on a journey to eternity. This humanizes Death and makes the concept of dying less frightening and more contemplative.
