About this document
Types of Repetition in Literature by Dariia is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document defines and provides examples of 10 types of repetition used in poetry and prose: anadiplosis, anaphora, antanaclysis, antimetabole, antistrophe, chiasmus, epimone, epizeuxis, polyptoton, and symploce. Repetition is used as a literary device to emphasize emotions or ideas, juxtapose meanings, play with multiple interpretations, and underscore relationships between concepts. Examples are drawn from classic literature, poems, and novels to illustrate each type of repetition.
