I'm struggling with how to present an antithesis in a setting.

I understand the definition:

NOUN

1.a person or thing that is the direct opposite of someone or something else:

"love is the antithesis of selfishness"

synonyms: (direct) opposite · converse · reverse · reversal · inverse · obverse ·
[more]

•a contrast or opposition between two things:

"the antithesis between occult and rational mentalities"

synonyms: contrast · opposition

•a rhetorical or literary device in which an opposition or contrast of ideas is expressed.

"figures of speech such as antithesis" ·
[more]

2.(in Hegelian philosophy) the negation of the thesis as the second stage in the process of dialectical reasoning. Compare with synthesis.

But not how one is used or portrayed, particularly in creative or formal writing?
