Detailed explanation-1: -In literature, synesthesia refers to an author’s blending of human senses to describe an object. Phrases like a “loud dress” or a “chilly gaze” blend our sensory modalities.

Detailed explanation-2: -Importance of Synesthesia. Synesthesia allows authors to deliver another level of description in literature. It challenges readers to think out of the box and reinterpret their senses as they know them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scott Fitzgerald describes a party in the Great Gatsby as having ‘yellow cocktail music. ‘ Oscar Wilde uses a similar type of description in An Ideal Husband when he describes a Hungarian band and their music as being ‘mauve, ’ a washed-out shade of purple.
