Repetition?is?restricted?to?mean?the?case?of ?exact?copying?of?a?certain?previous?unit?in?a? text,?such?as?word,?phrase?or?even?a?sentence,?which?subsumes?immediate?repetition?and? intermittent?repetition. A?Immediate?repetition:the?repeated?unit? immediately?follow?the?initial?unit.? For?example:? Do?not?go?gentle?into?that?good?night,? Old?age?should?burn?and?rave?at?close?of?day,? Rage,?rage?against?the?dying?of?light.? Notes:?Rage?is?repeated?eight?times?in?this? poem,?thus?great?emphasis?is?attached?on?the? item, ?and?also?on?the?whole?theme?of?the?poem:?one? should?struggle?violently?against?death.? The? repetition? serves?to?combine?the?lines? together?and?give?unity?to?the?idea?expressed.? Example 2 Gold!?Gold!?Gold!?Gold!? Bright?and?yellow,?hard?and?cold,? Molten,?graven,?hammer’d?and?roll’d,? Heavy?to?get?and?light?to?hold. (Thomas? Hood)? “Gold”?is?repeated?four?times?and?reinforced?by?the?capitalization?of?the?first?letter?and? the?exclamation?mark.?It?implicates?the poet’s?great?intensity?of?feeling?when?talking about gold. * Example 3 The?woods?are?lovely,?dark?and?deep,? But?I?have?promise?to?keep,? And?miles?to?go?before?I?sleep.? And?miles?to?go?before?I?sleep.? Here?the?repetition?implies?“there?is?a?long?way?to?go?before?I?die.”?and?the?author?is? rather ?weary?of?the?journey?he?takes.? * B Intermittent repetition Definition:?ploce?in?traditional?rhetoric? Example:? O,?how?that?name?befits?my?composition,? Old?Gaunt?indeed,?and?gaunt?in?being?old.? Here?the?speaker?is?punning?on?his?own? name.?The?repetition?here?vividly?captures?the?emotional?state?of?the?speaker:?his? utter?despair?of?his?old?age?and?his?health? condition.? * 2 Parallelism Definition
