Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, is a children’s Christmas song with a theme of hope and greatness for everyone that is unique. There are various poetic devices used throughout the song that lead to that message.
There are two examples of personification in places in the song. Both examples have to do with reindeer. In the first example the reindeer are described as poking fun of Rudolph because of his unique red nose, just like little children. The line read “All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names”. In the second example, the reindeer actually speak. The sleigh team now needs Rudolph and accept him after Santa Claus sees his value. They tell Rudolph that “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history!”
