She had no dowry, no hopes, no means of becoming known . . . Which language convention does the author use for effect?

Repetition

The author uses repetition in this passage to show that the subject really has absolutely nothing going for her. Repeating the word "no" over and over heightens the desolation and emptiness that she must be feeling as she is going through this low point.
