Are cliches singular doomed to failure if used redundantly?
Answers:
Usually clichés are discouraging enough to ruin a whole book BUt you could make it work (It have been done) as long as it is written very well and you can attach a twist. If there is a whole bunch of clichés afterwards yeah whatever it is that you are writing it's doomed
cliches are "bad" only if you can't ponder of another way to say what you mean. some times cliches are correct, sometimes they express just the right thought. they can be used to give your character a "voice", they can add on to the rhythm of a sentence, they can say a great deal about the part who is using the cliche, about where that character comes from, or how they deliberate or are educated, what social environment they came from or live in...so no, but you are right...don't over use them. and check out the definition of redundant
Cliche's are by definition elements of any type of art so overused that they lose their original meaning. so avoid them
Yeah. If you are worried about sounding corny or whatever of late say "pardon the cliché..."
Edit: if it is for a book (or piece of writing), I think it is smaller number acceptable to use clichés
