How much figures of speech has been used in the slaves dream?

It's impossible to determine the exact number of figures of speech used in "The Slave's Dream" without knowing which specific version you're referring to. There are multiple poems with that title, and each might utilize a different set of figures of speech.

However, we can discuss some common figures of speech used in poetry and their potential presence in "The Slave's Dream":

* Metaphor: Comparing one thing to another without using "like" or "as." For example, "The chains of slavery" could be a metaphor for the oppression felt by the enslaved.

* Simile: Comparing one thing to another using "like" or "as." For instance, "He was as strong as an ox" could describe the physical strength of the enslaved person.

* Personification: Giving human qualities to inanimate objects or abstract concepts. "The wind whispered secrets" would be an example.

* Symbolism: Using objects or images to represent larger ideas. A sunrise might symbolize hope, while a storm could represent oppression.

* Imagery: Using vivid language to create sensory experiences. "The blood of the oppressed" could be imagery appealing to the sense of sight.

* Alliteration: Repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words. "The slaves' sorrow and suffering" would be an example.

* Assonance: Repetition of vowel sounds. "The weeping willow whispered with the wind" would be an example.

* Onomatopoeia: Words that sound like the noises they represent. "The chains clanked against the ground" would be an example.
