To continue, the use of literary devices was used in the sense of repetition which allowed for emphasis; this connected with the Sirens and the writer which allowed for the reader to connect when seeing the effect of the writer’s words and the Sirens words on men. To conclude, the tone being arguably one of the most important areas in writing showed the Siren’s tone shift which ultimately allowed for the reader to be able to perfectly understand the Siren’s intentions and words.
