I think it may be anthropomorphic personification. In which people ascribe human attributes to objects and they seem to turn into them (sorry thath explanation was a bit rubbish!). A good example is DEATH...you know the guy in the cloak with the scythe...kills people...he was given human attributes and now seems to have run off with them?
----The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false----
