Ambiguity or fallacy is a word, statement, or phrase that contains more than just one meaning.

What is the ambiguity technique in literature?

Ambiguity in literature refers to all those events, circumstances, storylines or symbols in a context that carry multiple meanings.

A single element can have several interpretations and this allows the reader to engage in an active manner in the story by wondering about the meanings implied by the author according to personal experiences or reactions.
