A figure of speech is a literary device in which language is used in an unusual-or "figured"-way in order to produce a stylistic effect.
Alliteration:-
Alliteration is the repetition of the beginning sounds of neighboring words.
Example- Beautiful Barbara boasted about her bravery.
Helpful Harriet happily helped the homeless horsey.
Anaphora:-
The repetition of the same word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or verses.
Example-
We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end... we shall never surrender. - Winston Churchill
Unfortunately, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time on the wrong day.
Assonance:-
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds (not just letters) in words that are close together. The sounds don't have to be at the beginning of the word.
Example- U - Uncertain rustling of each purple curtain (Poe)
E- Therefore, all seasons shall be sweet to thee. (Coleridge)
Antithesis:-
Antithesis emphasizes the idea of contrast by parallel structures of the contrasted phrases or clauses. The structures of phrases and clauses are similar, in order to draw the attention of the listeners or readers..
Example- Man proposes, god disposes.
Give everyone thy ear, but few thy voice.
Apostrophe:-
Directly addressing a non-existent person or an inanimate object as though it were a living being.
Example- O Death! Where is thy sting. Milton! Thou shouldst be living at this hour.
