Hi folks,
I'd like to remind you of these rhetorical terms on Quizlet.
These classical rhetorical figures date back as far as the Ancient Greeks. Shakespeare himself would have been taught them as a major part of his study of rhetoric, and the signs can be found all through his plays.
I've taken the terms and some of the definitions from an excellent book called 'Elements of Eloquence', by Mark Forsyth.
Some of them are essentials for both analysis and for use in your writing (personification, alliteration, congeries, anaphora etc.) Some are more rare and more awkward to use.
Check it out below. You can change the mode (eg. to flashcards) using the menu at the bottom.
