Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition is, in simple terms, the intentional placing of two unlike things near each other in the trxt for comparison or to highlight their differences. In Inferno by Dante Algeri, Dante juxtaposes Farinata’s I  gaze, with the gave of Cavalcanti. Farinata's piercing gaze differs greatly from Cavalcanti, who's anxious eyes dart around the room. By comparing the gazes of the two men he highlights the differences between the things they love. Farinata's love for Florence is calm and impassionate, whereas Cavalcanti's love for his son is passionate and his interruptions show his legitimate concern for his son's welfare. 

Another prime example of Juxtaposition. In the 1972 film, The Godfather, the batptism of a baby is juxtaposed with violent images of people being murdered. This happy moment being showed in parallel with such horrifying images contrasts the two and highlights how horrific the violent scenes are. This generates a wide range of emotion, causing the viewer to be further engrossed in the film.
