Alliteration is a figure of speech that involves repeating one or more consonant sounds in close proximity within words to create a sense of musicality and rhythm in language.
This repetition can involve one or several consonants, aiming to emphasize certain words or expressions, capture the reader or listener’s attention, and add a poetic touch to prose or poetry.
For example, “seductive whispers” and “rhyming in the wind” are examples of alliteration, as they repeat the sounds “s” and “r” respectively.
