Anadiplosis

Anadiplosis is a rhetorical device where the last word or phrase of a sentence is repeated at the beginning of the following sentence. It creates a powerful and memorable effect, emphasizing the repeated word and creating a sense of continuity in a text.

Examples:

1. "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." (Yoda in Star Wars)
2. "The crime was common, common be the pain." (Alexander Pope)
3. "When I give, I give myself." (Walt Whitman)
