* Alliteration is a specific literary device: It focuses on the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words.
* "Opposite" implies a direct contrast: While you can have sentences *without* alliteration, that doesn't create a contrasting concept.
Instead of an "opposite," consider these ideas:
* Assonance: Repetition of vowel sounds (e.g., "The end of the meeting").
* Consonance: Repetition of consonant sounds anywhere in the word (e.g., "The stars shined so brightly").
* No repetition of sounds: This is the most neutral approach, where no specific sound patterns are emphasized.
Example:
* Alliteration: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
* Assonance: "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain."
* Consonance: "The wind whispers through the willows."
* No repetition: "The cat sat on the mat."
Ultimately, the "opposite" of alliteration depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you want to avoid repetition of consonant sounds, you have various options.
