Juxtaposition Definition: Two unlike ideas are placed side by side for the purpose of comparison. Why Writers Use It: By placing two words or ideas next to one another, we can highlight the differences between them. Juxtaposition can be used on a small scale (like between words or images) or on a large scale (like between two characters or story lines). The effect can be funny or dramatic, depending on how it is used. A huge lion cowering with fear at the sight of a tiny mouse is a silly image. A grandmother holding a newborn baby might be a very powerful image juxtaposing birth and old age. Examples of juxtaposition in rap lyrics: – “Yeah, I’m out that Brooklyn, now I’m down in Tribeca Right next to De Niro, but I’ll be hood forever” - Jay-Z, “Empire State of Mind” – “Rough in the ghetto, but in jail he’s Jello” - Kool G. Rap, “Road to the Riches”
