I can automatically take out apostrophe and metaphor so..
hyperbole: exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. Metaphor: a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable According to these definitions I would go with hyperbole, but I also don't have the context so I can't be sure...
"Spirit! who made those freemen dare..." is an example of apostrophe. Apostrophe is a figure of speech in which you are addressing somebody or something that is not physically near you. A metaphor is a form of comparison. A symbol is a reference to something. Hyperbole is exaggeration.
