Best Answer

Certain words are sometimes italicized while the words around them are not in order to make those words stand out as different. It can be for emphasis, or it can distinguish a title from the context it is mentioned in. Also, sometimes a word from another language may be italicized to show that it is different from the surrounding words.

The words that are italicized means that they are important.

They do this to emphasize some words. This can also be done for stylistic reasons, or when a book or movie's name is said.
