Why are comics and poems alike 5: metrics p4

SYLLABLES GET REPEATED: SOMETHING COMICS HAVE

No. Not about the sound. Or The words. About the image. The syllable; consonant + vowel, vowel + consonant, consonant + vowel + consonant, gets repeated and repetition is SYMMETRY.

WHAT ABOUT SYMMETRY?

Symmetry is when we repeat an image based the repetition in an imaginary axis from where we: reflect, rotate, transfer or scale. Whenever we use the same syllable in a different line, that is totally like symmetry; particularly the one of transferring or movement.

Voilà, comics and poems are alike because symmetry! (Without regard to poem’s symmetry being called rhyme).

That, given the comic uses symmetry to repeat elements in order to communicate like in the manga I have been using as an example. Haru no noroi by Asuka Konishi , adapted into live action.  

In these covers, what you can take as a partial almost mirror symmetry is a trick to create movement and express the character’s emotional situation. When opposed to each other, they can’t be further away and when facing each other, it means the attraction building up. Thus we can talk not only of symmetry but of symbolism. Something poems do: metaphor. But I’m not talking metaphor. And I’m using these covers as example only because I liked the manga.

Am I genial or am I? Truthfully… I AM NOT. Nonetheless, this was just a clumsy attempt to make my hypothesis falsifiable in the same way I do everything. WRITING NONSENSE. What else is fiction but acceptable nonsense?

Don’t! Your likes, comments or curses won’t stop me from writing. I only hope you will read and think how to use symmetry in your next fiction. Pasto kalo.
