Symploce is a rhetorical device that combines two figures: anaphora and epistrophe. It involves the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses (anaphora) and the repetition of a word or phrase at the end of successive clauses (epistrophe). This technique emphasizes a particular idea or theme by creating a rhythmic and memorable effect in the text or speech.
