 Alliteration, Assonance and Consonance Figures of Speech, in English literature, with Literary Examples

   1, Introduction : Alliteration, assonance, and consonance are literary devices used in English literature to create specific sound patterns and enhance the overall musicality of a piece of writing.

    2, Origin of Alliteration: It is derived from Latin word, "" Littera", which means "Letters of Alphabet".

1,Alliteration:

Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words in close proximity. It is often used for emphasis, creating rhythm, and adding a lyrical quality to the text.

Example 1:

"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."

This tongue twister from a nursery rhyme showcases alliteration with the repetition of the "p" sound.

2,Assonance:

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words. It helps establish a certain mood or tone within a text and adds a melodic quality to the language.

Example 1:

"I rose and told him of my woe."

The repetition of the long "o" sound in "rose" and "told" creates assonance.

3,Consonance:

Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds within or at the end of words. It helps create harmony and musicality in a text.

Example 1:

"All's well that ends well."

The repetition of the "l" sound in "all's," "well," and "ends" demonstrates consonance.
