Rhetorical Devices in Rock 'n' Roll: Analyzing Imagery and Anadiplosis

This analysis explores the use of rhetorical devices in Rock 'n' Roll, specifically focusing on anadiplosis and imagery. By examining lyrics from artists like Elvis Presley, we delve into how these techniques enhance emotional depth and engage listeners. The concept of anadiplosis, defined as the repetition of the final words of one line at the beginning of the next, is illustrated in songs like "Heartache Hotel." Additionally, we analyze vivid imagery that appeals to the senses and evokes powerful feelings. This study highlights the interplay of emotion, authority, and logic in musical expression.
