Literary Devices (Figures of Speech) in English Literature-Part 2

In this video, we discuss 7 literary devices definition & examples - Oxymoron, Paradox , Juxtaposition , Chaismus , Diacope , Hyperbole , and Irony.
Figures of speech in English Literature are used to highlight a particular description or to emphasize an interesting detail in order to beautify the literary work. Literary devices are used widely in poems, plays, novels and essays.
The first two figures of speech in english grammar that we look at are Oxymoron and Paradox.
You can understand it better through the Oxymoron examples discussed in the video. You can also find Paradox meaning and paradox definition that will help you understand how it is different from Oxymoron. We also discuss a few Paradox examples from English Literature.
Next we talk about Juxtaposition meaning and Juxtaposition examples.
Chaismus figure of speech is Repitition of words in reverse order. The chaismus meaning is discussed in the video.
Diacope in English Literature is used to repeat words/phrases with a few words in between. In the video, we talk in detail about diacope meaning and diacope examples.
Next on our list is hyperbole. Alliteration meaning is simplified so that you can understand how it is used along with some easy hyperbole examples.
Irony is of 3 types: verbal irony, situational irony and dramatic irony. You can understand the irony meaning when you take a closer look at the examples discussed in the video.
It is very important for every English Literature student to know about the several literary devices or figure of speech. They are also frequently asked in UGC NET English Literature.
In the part 3 of the video, we will discuss imagery, personification and several other literary devices. So subscribe to my channel and stay tuned to Learning Literature with Purba.
