Antithesis (Greek for "setting opposite", from ἀντί "against" + θέσις "position") is used in writing or speech either as a proposition that contrasts with or reverses some previously mentioned proposition, or when two opposites are introduced together for contrasting effect.
Antithesis can be defined as "a figure of speech involving a seeming contradiction of ideas, words, clauses, or sentences within a balanced grammatical structure. Parallelism of expression serves to emphasize opposition of ideas".
An antithesis must always contain double meanings due to the reproduction of two ideas within one statement. The ideas may not be structurally opposite, but they serve to be functionally opposite when comparing two ideas for emphasis.
According to Aristotle, the use of an antithesis makes the audience better understand the point one is trying to make through their argument. Further explained, the comparison of two situations or ideas makes choosing the correct one simpler. Aristotle states that antithesis in rhetoric is similar to syllogism due to the presentation of two conclusions within a statement.
The Antithesis (Antithese in Dutch) is a conflict between Christian-democratic, confessional parties, united in the Coalition and Liberal parties, united in the Concentratie between 1888 and 1918. The conflict concerned the equalization of payment for religious schools. To realize this a constitutional revision was necessary, which needed the support of two-thirds of both houses of parliament. Both political parties held about fifty percent of the MPs however. The issue was forced by ARP-leader Abraham Kuyper, who hoped that an alliance of Catholics and Protestants would gain the necessary number of seats, but this strategy failed. The issue was finally resolved in the Pacification of 1917.
When you wake up in the morning Can you tell me what you see A gentle flowing river Or a stormy troubled sea In this life you will find Tests and trials and despair If your faith is strong You'll know where to cast your cares Hold your head up high, not with pride or arrogance Be glad to know you got another chance I know the pain that's in your life Been down that road before Just when things were going right Fate had a twist in store Two roads I must travel on One life for another death One voice whispered in my ear Don't you give up just yet On a trail of tears, I have to face my fears Unlike the other one, left life with his own gun Just what went through his mind That peace he'll never find How do I carry on, now that my brother is gone? My life flashed before my eyes When I was twenty-five When I thought this could be the end I fought to stay alive I was indestructible I lived an ideal life But things change for better or for worse Each life a gift divine From the lessons learned and the bridges I have burned I have found but one true friend Who will stand by me through times of complexity And help me through the times of trial When I look in a mirror I can tell you who I see A man with new beginnings Living out his destiny I am here with you in spirit I will never leave your side I'll be right here if you need me Take my hand and walk with me All the while these are times of trial
