Question
which literary device is in the following line from edgar allan poes poem \the raven\? \thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;\ alliteration personification oxymoron
Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby words. In "fantastic terrors", the initial "t" sound in "terrors" and the "t" sound in "fantastic" (from the stressed syllable "tas") creates the alliterative effect. Personification gives human traits to non - human things (not applicable here), and an oxymoron is a contradiction in terms (also not applicable here). So the literary device is alliteration.
