In literary terms, contrast refers to the technique of comparing two or more elements within a text to highlight their differences. This can involve characters, themes, settings, or ideas. By juxtaposing contrasting elements, authors can emphasize particular attributes, create tension, reveal deeper meanings, or develop character dynamics. For example, contrasting characters might have opposing traits or moral values, which can create a dynamic interplay that drives the narrative.
