= Juxtaposition
{wiki=Juxtaposition}
Juxtaposition is a literary and artistic technique that involves placing two or more elements side by side to highlight their differences, similarities, or contrasting qualities. This method is often used to create emphasis, provoke thought, or generate a specific emotional response from the audience. In literature, juxtaposition can involve contrasting characters, themes, settings, or ideas within a narrative. For example, placing a wealthy character next to a poor character can emphasize themes of class disparity.
