Antithesis

What is it?
Antithesis is like the opposite of the direct person of someone or something else.

What is its effect/Why is it used?
It is used when the writer employs two sentences of contrasting meaning in close proximity
to one another. 

Three examples of Antithesis:
  • "Many are called, but few are chosen."
  • "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." 
  • "Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing."
