A precise note on Hyperbole

1 Answer

5 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

hyperbole, a figure of speech that is an intentional exaggeration for emphasis or comic effect. Hyperbole is common in love poetry, in which it is used to convey the lover's intense admiration for his beloved

In using hyperbole, you take an ordinary exaggeration to new heights. If I'm really hungry, I might say, “I'm so hungry I could eat that entire pizza” even though I really mean I could eat a slice or two beyond my usual consumption. My “entire pizza” comment is an exaggeration.
