Alliteration: When two or more nearby words or syllables repeat the same beginning consonant sound, it is known as alliteration. For example “stifled sobs” and “deep despair”.
Hyperbole: Exaggeration used as a figure of speech or rhetorical technique is known as hyperbole. For example, “Whose stifled sobs of deep despair” and “With anguish none may paint or tell” emphasize the suffering of the blacks.
Anaphora: A rhetorical device known as an anaphora occurs when a word or term is repeated at the start of several sentences, clauses, or phrases. “And mothers stood, with streaming eyes,/ And saw their dearest children sold”
Metaphor: The use of a term or phrase that refers to one type of thing or concept in place of another to imply a similarity or connection between them is known as a metaphor. For example, in the line “While tyrants bartered them for gold,” “tyrant” is a metaphor for a slaver.
