👉 Aperitive is a type of literary device in which a character or object is described by its appearance, behavior, or other characteristics. It is often used to create a sense of mystery and intrigue about a character or setting. For example, in the novel "The Great Gatsby," the character Nick Carraway describes the boat he has been on as "the most beautiful boat ever built." This description sets up the idea that Nick's boat may hold secrets that are not easily explained.
