Rhetorical Analysis of Enigma in Folklore

Rhetorical scholars have, from the beginning to the present, turned their full attention to formal literature. A review of the rhetorical books confirms this as well. This is especially true in the teaching of rhetorical topics in educational institutions such as universities, unaware that folk literature has its own structure and aesthetics, the neglect of which ignores a large part of the rhetorical capacity of the language. The present study borrows a descriptive-analytical method and uses the rhetorical criteria on the aesthetics enigma as one type of irony in folklore.
The results show that in the studies, only the rhetoric of the first part (description) has been considered and the other part has been neglected, while concealing and suspending the meaning according to the existing descriptions indicates that enigma is in fact an allusion to the subject. A point that has not been properly addressed so far has caused rhetorical books to be mistaken for a novel topic. The article discusses the difference between this kind of irony and the usual allusions of rhetorical, the explanatory books and the description of its beauties, in comparison with the examples of formal literature.
