👉 Expenthesis is a literary device used in Shakespeare's plays to indicate a long or prolonged sentence. It involves using more words than are necessary for a given expression, such as "longer" or "more," to create an effect of length and emphasis on the speaker's thoughts and emotions. This technique is often employed when the speaker is describing something that takes place over several hours or days, so they have ample time to express their thoughts and feelings clearly.
