Question

Is this an example of asyndeton? “Go search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out every abuse and when you have found the last, lay your sides

Answer 1

An asyndeton is a writing style where conjunctions are omitted in a series of words, phrases or clauses.

I would say it is not an asyndeton in this case, due to the quote having “and” in it multiple times.

I’m not a professional when it comes to asyndetons, so make sure to look over notes if you have any! Good luck!!!
