Notice the use of the word repeated in lines such as these:

(i) On pads of velvet quite,


In his quite rage.


(ii) And stares with his brilliant eyes


At the brilliant stars.


What do you think is the effect of this repetition?


(i) The word ‘quite’ has been repeated in these lines.


The repetition of the word expresses the intensity of the tiger’s action.


(ii) ‘Brilliant’ word has been repeated in these lines.


It expresses both the anger and brightness in the eyes of the tiger. It creates an effect of intensity of the action.
