👉 Rampancy is a literary device used in poetry, prose, and other forms of writing to create an effect where the reader feels as though they are being swept away by the narrative or theme. It often involves using repetition, alliteration, and other literary devices to create a sense of chaos, confusion, or disorientation. The word "rampancy" comes from the Latin word "rampe," which means "to make a disturbance or disturbance."
