2. CHIASMUS Chiasmus is “a reversal in the order of words in two otherwise parallel phrases” Two clauses are balanced against each other to create an artistic effect The first clause is simply reversed both grammatically and logically to create the parallel clause For example, the common phrase, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going!”, is a simple example of a chiasmus. Another example of chiasmus would be, “one should work to live, not live to work!” Chiasmus and antimetabole are very similar, although chiasmus does not use repetition of words or phrases in either clause

Her voice was soft but tense. “Blood on his hands.” Her own hands were clean and pale.” Those lines draw the reader’s attention and create an emotional response, which is the point of atmosphere
