    MODULE 8: Anadiplosis

    Course Learning Outcomes:


    By the end of the module, the students will be able to:
    1. Describe anadiplosis and its concepts
    2. Comprehend anadiplosis in literature from the examples given
    3. Assess the significance of anadiplosis in literature

    Anadiplosis

    It is the repetition of the last word (or phrase) from the previous line, clause, or sentence
    at the beginning of the next. The word anadiplosis comes from the Greek for “a
    doubling” or “folding up.” The definition of anadiplosis thus comes from this sense of
    repeating or doubling a term to make it more significant.

    Common Examples of Anadiplosis


    Anadiplosis is a very effective rhetorical device, and thus can be commonly found in
    political speeches and movies. Here are some examples of anadiplosis from popular
    movies or speeches:

     “They call for you: The general who became a slave; the slave who became
    a gladiator; the gladiator who defied an Emperor. Striking story.” —
    Commodus, Gladiator (2000 film)
     “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” —
    Yoda, Star Wars
     "Once philosophy you you change your philosophy, change your thought
    pattern. Once you change thought pattern you change your pattern, your

    attitude. Once you change your attitude, it then you changes your behavior
    pattern and go on into some action." —Malcom X

    Examples of Anadiplosis in Literature

    Richard II by William Shakespeare

    KING RICHARD II: The love of wicked men converts to fear;


    That fear to hate, and hate turns one or both
    To worthy danger and deserved death.

    This is an example of anadiplosis from William Shakespeare’s historical play Richard II.
    King Richard II, in this excerpt, explains how fear leads to hate, which leads to danger
    and death. This is one of the anadiplosis examples in which Shakespeare shows the
    development from one term to another through a chain of events.

    “Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman

    Behold, I do not give lectures or a little charity,


    When I give I give myself.

    Walt Whitman uses many different examples of repetition in his masterpiece, “Song of
    Myself.” In this short excerpt, Whitman contrasts what he does not give, i.e., “lectures or
    a little charity” with what he does give, i.e., himself. This anadiplosis example shows the
    narrator’s true character.

    Significance of Anadiplosis in Literature

    Anadiplosis is an especially effective variety of repetition. Due to the changing position


    of the key word from the last part of one sentence to the first part of the following
    sentence, there is a shift in emphasis and thus the role of that key word changes from

    one usage to the next. Authors may also use anadiplosis examples to use a term and
    then specify its multiple meanings, or clarify the one key meaning.
