Apostrophe (Greek [[ἀποστροφή]], apostrophé, "[[turning away]]"; the final e being sounded) is an exclamatory figure of speech. It occurs when a speaker breaks off from addressing the audience (e.g. in a play) and directs speech to a third party such as an opposing litigant or some other individual, sometimes absent from the scene. Often the addressee is a personified abstract quality or inanimate object. In dramatic works and poetry written in or translated into English, such a figure of speech is often introduced by the vocative exclamation, "O". Poets may apostrophize a beloved, the Muses, God or gods, love, time, or any other entity that can't respond in reality. | Apostrophe (Greek [[ἀποστροφή]], apostrophé, "[[turning away]]"; the final e being sounded) is an exclamatory figure of speech.
