A-Z: General definitions: Rhetorical Question

A Figure of speech where a question is apparently asked, but no answer is expected.
In literature, words are used in a non-literal sense much of the time, to make the language striking and persuasive. Sounds are also carefully arranged to have certain effects. This is all figurative language.
