English - English Literature( for Admission) - alliteration
Alliteration is a literary technique that uses the repetition of the same sound at the beginning of words that are close to each other. For example, “She sells seashells by the seashore” is a sentence that uses alliteration. Alliteration can make the words sound more rhythmic, catchy, or memorable. Alliteration is often used in poetry, songs, speeches, and brand names. Some examples of alliteration from literature and film are:
- “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes / A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life.” (William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet)
- “The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew / The furrow followed free.” (Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner)
- “Veni, vidi, vici.” (Julius Caesar)
