In the poem "The Bells", by Edgar Allan Poe, he uses repetition thoroughly throughout his poem. Some examples of this are in the following quotes : "How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle," and "Keeping time, time, time". He also uses repetition with the words "bells" and "tells". Edgar Allan Poe also uses assonance in this quote; "From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells." These examples of figurative language give us a sense of eerie.
