It's that time of the month – time for 2 more figures
of speech. Last month we did Assonance
and Alliteration.
This month we're doing Antithesis and Oxymoron
Antithesis is about stark contrast. Two words or concepts are used which are
vastly different as a way to emphasis something
Oxymoron is also about contrast – it also fits the
definition of antithesis – but it involves words which are a contradiction in
terms or paradox
Thank you, this is very helpful!
