In chapter 7, Jay Gatsby remarks to Nick Carraway that "Her [Daisy's] voice is full of money" (Fitzgerald, 128). Gatsby's quote is an example of a metaphor because he is making an indiscreet comparison between two things that are seemingly unrelated but share a common characteristic. In Gatsby's quote, he is comparing Daisy's voice to money because her specific accent conveys that she lives a life of great privilege.

Gatsby's quote is also considered an idiom. An idiom is an expression comprising of two or more words that are figurative and not to be taken literally. Daisy's voice is not literally full of money but instead expresses her wealthy background and aristocratic upbringing. While Gatsby's quote is both a metaphor and idiom, it is not an example of personification. Personification is when human characteristics are attributed to non-human objects or animals. Overall, Gatsby's comment emphasizes Daisy's obsession with riches and her voice is reflective of her personality.

Your question has several correct answers.

1. It is an example of a metaphor because Fitzgerald is making an indirect comparison between two seemingly disconnected or unlike objects.  Someone's voice is not normally associated with his/her wealth/status; admittedly, we do connect accents, dialect, and vernacular with social classes, but generally, the tone of someone's voice is not compared to his or her social class.

2. The quote is also an example of an idiom in the sense that it must be taken figuratively.  Readers cannot extract individual words from the quote, look up their literal meanings, and still correctly infer Fitzgerald's comment about Daisy.

3. Finally, Fitzgerald uses synesthesia within the quote.  Synesthesia in a literary sense is the mixing of sensory words (such as "he hit a sour note on the trumpet").  In the above quote from Gatsby, readers normally associated the word "voice" with the sense of sound, but in this case, Fitzgerald associates it with Daisy's intangible/non-sensory characteristics.
