Antanaclasis is a rhetorical device where a word is repeated in a sentence, but with a different meaning each time. This repetition creates a play on words that can add emphasis or a clever twist to the statement. For example, in the phrase "If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm", the word "fired" is used with two different meanings, one related to being dismissed from a job and the other to being filled with energy. This technique highlights a contrast or creates a humorous effect by playing with the word's multiple meanings.
