👉 A literary weapon, also known as a literary device or rhetorical device, is a tool used by writers to convey meaning, create imagery, evoke emotions, or manipulate the reader's perception in a specific way. Examples include metaphors, similes, personification, alliteration, hyperbole, and irony, among others. These devices enrich language and add layers of depth to storytelling, helping authors to communicate complex ideas and emotions more effectively.
