Literary consonance

ID: literary-consonance

Literary consonance is a stylistic device characterized by the repetition of consonant sounds in close proximity within a piece of writing, often at the end or middle of words. Unlike alliteration, which focuses on the repetition of initial consonant sounds, consonance involves repeated consonant sounds that can occur at different positions in the words. Consonance can add rhythm, enhance mood, or create a sense of harmony in poetry and prose.
