Identify the figure(s) of speech in the following example. "If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head." apostrophe implied metaphor metaphor metonymy personification simile

It should be a metaphor. An implied metaphor wouldn't actually mention the name of what the person or thing is, but a metaphor would.

Then the other is likely to be metonymy, though I'm not totally sure. Here's a link to that - http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples/examples-of-metonymy.html
