Assonance involves repetition of vowel sounds within words, often creating a more subtle and musical effect compared to the repeated consonant sounds in alliteration. Vowel sounds are more fluid and can blend into the overall rhythm and mood of the writing, making assonance less noticeable but still impactful in creating a cohesive flow of language.
