Detailed explanation-1: -Apostrophe is used primarily to express strong emotion (like love, hate, fear, or anger), but it allows the speaker or writer to do so by directly addressing the subject of their thoughts or feelings, which makes the expression less abstract.
Detailed explanation-2: -Importance of Apostrophe in Poetry, Prose, and Song Apostrophe happens in Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 18” as the narrator starts out speaking to an absent “thee": “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” It also appears in the play “Hamlet” when the title character is in a rage about his mother marrying Claudius.
Detailed explanation-3: -Apostrophe is a literary technique where a character addresses an imaginary person, object, or idea as if they were a person. So a character saying, ‘Oh stars, won’t you dance with me’ would be an example of an author using apostrophe.
