Terms to Know Epithet: Extended metaphor: Epic simile: Character foil: A descriptive name, adjective, phrase, or title that is repeatedly used to describe or characterize a quality or characteristic of a person, place, or thing. E.g.: Paris, the City of Lights Extended metaphor: A comparison (without using like or as) that says that something is something else. Extended or developed over many lines. Epic simile: A comparison that uses “like” or “as.” This is developed over many lines. Character foil: Draws attention to the differences between the two characters; “reflects” the characters to allow the differences to stand out and provide analysis of traits; may be similar in some regards, but notable differences or contrasts for certain situations. Tragic hero: A character of noble status who possesses a flaw that brings about his/her downfall. The character realizes the mistakes he/she has made only after it is too late to fix, usually includes tragedy, loss, death. This realization provides for the “heroic “ classification.
