Define anastrophe ?

Dear student,

- Anastrophe is a technique in which the writer inverts the usual order of words in a clause or a sentence.
- It is used by poets to create rhyme or rhythm.
- Writers may use it to create a depth of meaning or convey wisdom.
- The famous character Yoda in Star Wars series uses anastrophe that makes his dialogues memorable.
- For example: 'Powerful you have become, the dark side I sense in you'.
'In the day sky glittered the Sun.'
