Quote:

Commonplace is something that everybody knows and do in the same way. That kind of tasks become boring and dull after some time. Indeed, commonplace refers to standard and ordinary situations, objects or concepts. The diversification and critique prevented the overuse of a commonplace. The poets applied their creativity and knowledge which gave birth to many different styles and movements. They made something out of something in a different way and the critiques shaped the way of rules and principles. The process is called ostranenie, which is a Russian word and means defamiliarization.
