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.
