JUXTAPOSITION

 Juxtaposition is a literary technique in which two or more ideas, places, characters and their actions are placed side by side in a narrative or a poem for the purpose of developing comparisons and contrasts.
In literature, juxtaposition is a useful device for writers to portray their characters in great detail to create suspense and achieve a rhetorical effect. It is a human quality to comprehend one thing easily by comparing it to another. Therefore, a writer can make readers sense “goodness” in a particular character by placing him or her side by side to a character that is predominantly “evil”. Consequently, goodness in one character is highlighted by evil in the other character. Juxtaposition in this case is useful in the development of characters.




Here's some examples for juxtaposition.

  • Beauty and ugliness
  • Belief and denial
  • Bigotry and tolerance
  • Calm and chaos
  • Civilization and wilderness
  • Dark and light
  • Despair and hope
  • Fact and fiction
  • Foolish and serious
  • Good and bad
  • Hot and cold
  • Leader and follower
  • Poverty and wealth
  • Success and failure
  • Summer and winter
  • Weakness and strength
  • Young and old








  • Juxtaposition in Art

    From many examples of juxtaposition,I decided to choose ''BITTER N SWEET'' to be my theme.




    Strawberry is sweet in this section

    while dark chocolate stand bitterness.

    I  combining both this bitter and sweet to produces a maximum contrast 
    maybe will be a neutral taste? haha


    This is my final outcomes
