(a) Antithesis – It is a literary device that em phasises the idea of contrast, eg. The growth of a frail flower in a path up has sometimes shattered and split a rock. Brutes have been gentled where lashes failed.

(b) Transferred Epithet – It is a figure of speech in which an epithet grammatically qualifies a noun other than the person or a thing, it is actually meant to describe. eg. and left them dead years before burial: Let him have lazy days seeking his deeper motives. Bringing changes into a world resenting change.

(c) Repetition – It is a figure of speech. eg. Tell him to be alone often and get at himself and above all tell himself no lies about himself
