Aristotle’s Rhetoric frames this concept as a way of facilitating learning by making it “pleasant” and describes this concept as having the qualities of “the exotic and fascinating.” Roman Jakobson placed this concept on the opposite pole from metonymy in an essay that argued for this concept as the basis of poetry from how it represents “condensation.” (15[1])This concept was described as the first of seven forms of ambiguity in a work by William Empson. New Criticism propounder I. A. Richards split this concept into two parts of tenor and vehicle, (15[1])citing a (15[1])famous example in (15[1])which the vehicle is (*) “the stage” and which was used in As You Like It. An example that uses two twin compasses in John Donne’s “A Valediction Forbidding Mourning” is often cited as an extended form of this concept. For 10 points, name this figure of speech that, unlike a simile, (10[1])directly likens two things. ■END■
