It considered hubris as a dangerous character flaw, capable of provoking the wrath of the gods. In classical Greek tragedy, hubris was often a fatal shortcoming that brought about the fall of the tragic hero. Typically, overconfidence led the hero to attempt to overstep the boundaries of human limitations and assume a godlike status, and the gods inevitably humbled the offender with a sharp reminder of his or her mortality. 
Example: the myth of Oedipus.

Its purpose is rather to make a point, insinuate or lay emphasis on something, start a discussion...
-Example: Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
“If you prick us, do we not bleed?
If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
If you poison us, do we not die?
And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”]]> 2019-10-19 18:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/399875658 14 - Epistrophe lucile228 https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/399882739 [ɛˈpɪstrɔfi:]

Epistrophe is derived from a Greek word that means “turning upon ». It indicates the same word returns at the end of each sentence. 
Thus epistrophe is a stylistic device that can be defined as the repetition of phrases or words at the ends of successive clauses or sentences.

Writers use this rhetorical technique of repeating a word or phrase in order to place emphasis on the repeated phrase.

Example : 

I had an Edward, till a Richard kill'd him;
I had a husband, till a Richard kill'd him;
Thou hadst an Edward, till a Richard kill'd him;
Thou hadst a Richard, till a Richard kill'd him.

(Shakespeare, Richard III, 4.4.40-43) 

> Anaphora is the opposite of epistrophe (> same words are repeated at the beginning of successive sentences)

Example:
"I was helpless. I did not know what in the world to do. I was quaking from head to foot, and could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far."
- Old Times on the Mississippi by Mark Twain]]> 2019-10-20 07:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/399941286 1 - Anaphora th_auryan https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/399969560 An anaphora is the repetition of the same word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses.

Example:
“This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England;
This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings [. . .];
This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land,”
Shakespeare, Richard II, Act 2, Scene 1]]> 2019-10-20 13:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/399969560 16 - Hamartia elisa_m_richard https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/400782224 Hamartia is a personal error in a protagonist’s personality, which brings about his tragic downfall in a tragedy. This defect in a hero’s personality is also known as a “tragic flaw.”

Example:
Prince Hamlet’s tragic flaw, in Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, determines his tragic downfall. Hamlet’s hamartia is his indecisiveness. He cannot make up his mind about the dilemmas he confronts. He reveals his state of mind in the following lines from Act 3, Scene 1 of the play:
“To be, or not to be — that is the question:
 Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
 The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
 Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
 And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep…”]]> 2019-10-22 11:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/400782224 13: Epanalepsis https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/401328414 The repetition at the end of a line or clause of a word or expression that appeared at the beginning.

Example:
"Weigh oath with oath, and you will nothing weigh."
Shakespeare, Midsummer Night's Dream, Act III, Scene 2]]> 2019-10-23 08:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/401328414 Pun https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/403795879 A pun is a play on words that produces a humorous effect by using a word that suggests two or more meanings,
or by exploiting similar sounding words that have different meanings.

Example:
“Now is the winter of discontent … made glorious summer by this sun of York.” William Shakespeare, Richard III, Act I, Scene 1]]> 2019-10-29 11:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/403795879 6 - Apostrophe marion_delhumeau https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/404666754 An Apostrophe is an exclamatory figure of speech.
It occurs when a speaker breaks off from addressing the audience and directs speech to a 3rd party such as an opposing litigant or some other individual, sometimes absent from the scene or cannot respond in reality.
An Apostrophe always addresses its object in the second person. Sometimes this address involves the word "you" or the more formal "thou."

Example:
"O God! God!"
Hamlet act 1, scene 2]]> 2019-10-30 18:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/404666754 12 - Enjambment/ Run-on-line marion_delhumeau https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/404670685 Enjambment is incomplete syntax at the end of a line the meaning runs over from one line to the next, without terminal punctuation.

Example:
I am not prone to weeping, as our sex
Commonly are; the want of which vain dew
Perchance shall dry your pities; but I have
That honourable grief lodged here which burns
Worse than tears drown.
Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale]]> 2019-10-30 19:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/404670685 Antimatabole heiteaarii_b https://padlet.com/sonoelso/j2rf32hqwqgf/wish/405874204 (ˌæntɪməˈtæbəlɪ) is a figure of speech in which words or clauses from the first half of a sentence are repeated in the second half of the sentence in reverse order.
