The pun is a Figure of speech which consists of the repetition of a phrase, but in the opposite sense. This produces a contrasting effect that creates a new sense that is generally thought-provoking. For example: There are not road for the peace, the peace is he road. (Mahatma Gandhi)
This stylistic device is used for aesthetic purposes, to invite reflection, and even for humorous purposes. For example: It is not the same storm I know looming, that neighbor I know torments.
