In paragraph 18, Federigo personifies fortune, showing it as someone who continues to impede his happiness and with whom he maintains an antagonistic relationship, as shown in option C.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- We can see that in paragraph 18, Federigo uses personification as a figure of speech to represent what fortune has been for him.
- He says "I have felt that Fortune has been hostile to me [...]" presenting the fortune with human capabilities with the ability to be hostile.
- With this, he shows that fortune has treated him negatively, preventing his happiness, at various times in his life, whether due to excess or lack.
- He sees this as something difficult to overcome, as the fortune will be forever in his life, with whom he will establish an antagonistic relationship.
We must emphasize that personification is the figure of speech that allows animals and inanimate beings to have human capacity and characteristics.
