Pun

Content

• Examples of pun

The pun it is a rhetorical figure that consists of repeating a phrase, but in the opposite sense. This produces a contrasting effect that creates a new sense that is generally thought-provoking. For example: There is not path for the peace, the peace is he path. (Mahatma Gandhi)

This stylistic device is used for aesthetic purposes, to invite reflection, and even for humorous purposes. For example: It is not the same storm I know looming, that neighbor I know torments.
