“Perfection is a disease of a
nation. Pretty hurts.”
Pretty HurtsBy: Beyonce
These lyrics are examples of a metaphor and personification, “Perfection is a
disease of a nation” is a metaphor that compares the pursuit of perfection to
something sickening and harmful. “Pretty hurts” is an example of personification that gives “pretty” a human emotion. Because
perfection is unattainable, people who strive for it will suffer as they doubt
themselves and do anything it takes to be flawless.
