fantastic 4 veil
English – gothic imagery help!?

I am doing a study on Dog of the Baskervilles … can someone please help me figure out the technical used in the following quotes … 1. "There rose in the gray distance, melancholy hill" 2. "Strange Jagged summit" in March. "Dim wave in the distance and "4." Ominously hills and jagged "5." A maze tracing fantastic wrought iron, over time, bitten pillars on each side, stained with lichens and topped with boar heads of Baskerville Hall. "6." The whole front was covered with ivy, with a patch clipped bare here and there where a window or a coat of arms has broken the dark veil "Thank You !!!!!!!!!

1. Personification of the hill, calling it "melancholy" – hills can not be sad. 2. "Strange" is not what you normally call a summit. It is a kind of premonition about the whole "incident" strange that deals with Sherlock Holmes. 3. Strange kind of description, as usually things at a distance are weak and vague. Think again about the mystery: the culprit uses the fact that the moors are covered in fog to convince people that there really is a ghost dog. Thus, "dim" and "vague" are perfect for them later. 4. "Sinister" is the personification again. What makes these grim hills? Murder? The fog that hid the crime? 5. "A labyrinth is one metaphor, since it is not really a maze. It's a very gothic image, think of the degradation of the Baskerville family, not many of them left and it is not illegitimate. The building is representative of the family, which is "weather-bitten," spots ". 6. Almost personification, probably just a metaphor: "the dark veil. Ivy is choking around the house, it is unsurpassed, you do not can get rid of his own patches were cut. Good luck, should probably not be doing your homework for you but I love stories of Sherlock Holmes and I like a challenge.
