15	Easy rhymes are '''what I want'''.\
16	Repetition is '''what I want'''.\
17	[[TitleDrop Epiphoras]] are '''what I want'''.
18
19	The epiphora (also named ''epistrophe'' or ''antistrophe'') is a stylistic device where a text has each sentence ending with the same string of words. With such a concept, you're likely to find this device in {{Poetry}} and Music (though the rhymes are not [[RhymingWithItself of the richest kind]]). Due to the rhythm and repetition it involves, epiphoras can also be efficient in [[SpeechesAndMonologues speeches]] where you make a point and [[RepeatedForEmphasis pin it down]]. That last string of words may have a different meaning as it gets repeated while the rest of the text changes after each sentence.
20
21	The opposite of an epiphora is an {{Anaphora}}. Combining the two gives us a {{symploce}} (example: "'''I'll buy''' this wine '''for my wife today'''. '''I'll buy''' this book '''for my wife today'''"). A case of LoopedLyrics or MadnessMantra doesn't count as an epiphora since the string of words needs to be the same while the rest of the text is different from sentence to sentence. The earliest epiphora was found in Literature/TheBible and makes this trope OlderThanFeudalism.
22
23	Supertrope of ForYourPeopleByYourPeople. Overlaps with RepeatedForEmphasis. Compare with EveryEpisodeEnding which is more of a visual fiction-specific trope. Epiphoras may be also be RhymingWithItself, but not if they're like using different end words like "seasick" and "sick", instead of just "sick" by itself. Not to be confused with the {{Epigraph}} which is a quote appearing at the beginning or the end of a fiction. Sure, all movies or episodes from a same series end with a similar [[CreditsTropes credits sequence]], but that doesn't mean it's an epiphora (as credits sequences are pretty much common for any {{Film}}/[[{{Series}} TV series]]).

29	[[folder:Advertising]]

49	* ''Fanfic/ACertainDrollHivemind'': When the blood construct explodes, it covers everyone in blood, except for Touma. When Mikoto asks what that's about, he just shrugs and says it was magic blood. Even the Sisters find that explanation odd. "at Kamijou Touma."
50	-->I stare at Kamijou Touma. Misaka-10032 stares at Kamijou Touma. Misaka Mikoto stares at Kamijou Touma.\
51	"... hate you so much," Misaka Mikoto mutters.
52	* ''Fanfic/TheDragonKingsTemple'': Chapter 5:
53	--> Speaking of skepticism – Toph threw her hands in the air, nearly clipping his nose in passing and forcing his attention back from its wandering path. “Sparky, you ''healed'' her!

54	* ''Fanfic/ThePalaververse'':

120	* In the ''Literature/PoeticEdda'', the poem "Baldrs draumar" or "Vegtamskviða" has the seeress who Odin revives to know the meaning of Baldr's bad dreams finish three stanzas saying she was summoned against her will.
