This study investigates the ways in which identity, attachment, and detachment are expressed through metaphorical language in the poem "Particles of Her: A Sandman's Elegy" by Hassin ur Rehman. Through stylistic analysis, the speaker's emotional journey from profound connection to psychological separation is revealed through the use of figures like hyperbole, simile, repetition, antithesis, and aposiopesis. The poem's metaphorical structure represents the disintegration of the self in addition to conveying sorrow. This examination demonstrates how literary elements are effective means of expressing emotional states and provide insight into the ways in which close relationships and their eventual breakdown shape and modify a person's identity. To sum up, "Particles of Her: A Sandman's Elegy" captures the mental journey of a speaker whose identity is formed, questioned, and finally undermined by emotional attachment and disengagement. The poet skillfully uses a range of figures of speech to represent the speaker's inner psychological development. The researcher analyzes various research articles to support the topic understudy.
