Epistrophe

Epistrophe

This figure is just the opposite of anaphora. While in anaphora words or phrases are repeated at the beginning of several sentences, in epistrophe the same kind of repetition occurs at the end of several sentences. This gives vigor and energy to the language. As a result, it produces some effects of emphasis, reinforcement, and long-lasting persuasive effect.

1. Whatever they do will be of no use their plan will fail their activity will fail; their money will fail; their power will fail. In a word, everything will fail. So, don't worry! Your company will be the market leader.

2. "Wit is dangerous, eloquence is dangerous, a talent for observation is dangerous, everything is dangerous that has efficacy and vigour for its characteristics."

3. You are the root of all evils. Come on! Who told the lies about it? You. And who created the chaos? You. And who caused those people to die? Wasn't it you? And-tell me who at last arranged for the trial? It's you! You rogue! Shut up!

This figure is very often used in speeches and dramas, apart from its being used in poetry.
