This week we learn about juxtaposition. Juxtaposition is the arrangement of 2 or more ideas, characters, actions, settings, phrases or words side by side or in similar narrative moments for the purpose of comparison, contrast, effect, suspense, theoretical and character development.
May refer to:
1. synonymous with contrast, 2 objects or text that oppose one another.
2. random juxtaposition, 2 random objects moving in parallel, a technique intended to stimulate creativity.
Examples of juxtaposition:
-civilization/wilderness
-committed/flighty
-chaos/calm
-darkness/frivolity
-turmoil/serenity
-indifference/feeling
-east/west
-freedom/repression
-way of life/clean slate
-weakness/strength
-rationality/faith
-follower/leader
-man/nature
-love/hate
-static/change
-needed/unwanted
-unfeeling/sympathetic
