Hyperbole is a rhetorical device and figure of speech used to make an exaggeration. In literature, it is used to create an emphasis (heighten effect) or comic effect (add humor). It is commonly used in love poetry to describe how intensely someone loves their beloved.

A famous example of hyperbole are the opening lines of the folktale Babe the Blue Ox: Well now, one winter it was so cold that all the geese flew backward and all the fish moved south and even the snow turned blue. Here, the hyperbole is used to emphasize how cold it is in a comic way, giving us a representation of both of its purposes.
