What is "antithesis"?
Antithesis is a rhetorical device that involves placing two opposing ideas or phrases next to each other to highlight their differences. This contrast helps to emphasize the distinct qualities of each idea. For example, in the phrase "Give me liberty, or give me death", the antithesis contrasts "liberty" with "death", emphasizing the speaker's strong choice between two extreme options. By setting these opposing ideas side by side, antithesis creates a more impactful and memorable statement.
Example
" The pen is mightier than the sword " - a classic expression of antithesis contrasting tools of persuasion versus violence.
"Pero je mocnější než meč" - klasický výraz antiteze, kontrastující nástroje přesvědčení versus násilí.
" Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country " - John F. Kennedy employed antithesis to make a patriotic appeal.
"Neptej se, co pro tebe může udělat tvoje země – ptej se, co ty můžeš udělat pro svoji zemi" - John F. Kennedy použil antitezi, aby učinil vlastenecké vyzvání.
