You need what I want. You heed what I want. You bleed what I want. "Symploce", like its component parts of Anaphora and Epiphora, comes from an Ancient Greek word, συμπλοκή (sumplokḗ), meaning "interweaving". Symploce is defined as the presence of consecutive phrases, usually sentences, that start and end with the same words, without being exactly the same. Example: She'll buy this wine for my wife today. She'll buy this book for her wife today. Since it's basically Epiphora with extra requirements at the front, it similarly can occur in combination with Rhyming with Itself. A common use of this is a character saying something like "I can't do it! I won't do it!", which is made more emphatic via repetition. Opposite Trope of Mesodiplosis, which is when the middle of the consecutive phrases repeat instead. |
