X
     The Invisible Man’s statement, “The truth is in the light and the light is truth” is an example of a chiasmus.  Chiasmus is Greek of X.  Used as a literary device it uses words to create a literary X.  This use of chiasmus is also present in the idea of “The end was in the beginning.”  The epilogue is seen in the prologue and vice-versa.
