    10 Examples of Apostrophe

    Miscellanea   /   by admin   /   July 04, 2021

    Apostrophe

    The apostrophe is a Figure of speech in which he briefly breaks into a speech, dialogue or narrative, to invoke imaginary or real characters. With this resource you try to capture the attention of the receiver and convey a feeling, idea or thought.

    For example:

    Oh sad dark clouds
    how hard you walk, get me out of these sadness
    and take me to the honduras
    from the sea where are you going!

    (Gil Vicente, Rubena's comedy).

    In general, the apostrophe uses the second person and, on some occasions, it consists of an "acclaim to nothingness." In addition, this figure is usually accompanied by exclamation marks or interrogation.

    As the objective of this resource is to capture the attention of those who are exposed to the message, it is usually used in the speeches that are prepared to be transmitted orally, for example, the script of a play. It is also a widely used resource in poetry.

    This literary figure was very recurrent in the plays of Ancient Greece, in which the characters pronounced the plays with their backs to the public.

    1. Oh virtuous, magnificent war!
      In you the quarrels were due,
      in you do our dying lived
      for glory in heaven and fame on earth,
      in you do the cruel spear never errs
      nin is afraid of the blood of relatives;
      revokes concordes to you our people
      of such desires and so much desferra.

      will stop worshiping the stinging sun.
