Boot Camp A.P. Literature Part 4: Symbolism, Irony, and Satire

Symbolism Definition: Literary devices developed from the connections that real-life people make between their own existence and particular objects, places, or occurrences through either experience or reading. (Roberts & Jacobs 393) Symbols = specific details (creates a meaningful connection between an object, scene, character, or action and ideas, values, persons, or ways of life) Allegories = stories or parts of stories that have a second meaning beneath the surface that gives added significance Biblical Greek Heroic cycle

Purpose and Types Purpose = compression that expands meaning Types of Symbols Cultural = universally recognized (The sun) Contextual = only applies in individual works (the white whale in Moby Dick)

How do I know it’s a symbol? How much importance does the author give it? emphasis repetition position Meaning must be established and supported by the entire context of the story. Symbol has its meaning in the story, not outside it. Item must suggest a meaning different in kind from its literal meaning. It may have multiple meanings. Example: The scarlet letter ‘A’

Where have we seen symbols? “Greasy Lake” “A Rose for Miss Emily” “Cathedral” “The Yellow Wallpaper” “To Build a Fire” Other common novels or stories? Let’s discuss “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas”

Irony & Satire Irony Purposes of Irony (Effects) Definition: A contradiction or incongruity between appearance or expectation and reality. Purposes of Irony (Effects) To convey a truth about human experience Allows the author to achieve compression. (Suggest complex meanings without stating them.) Achieves its effects through misdirection.

Methods of Irony Verbal Irony = a figure of speech in which the speaker says the opposite of what he or she intends to say. (Simplest form) Sarcasm = designed to hurt, ridicule Dramatic Irony = the contrast is between what a character says or thinks and what the reader knows to be true. (Conveys truth about the character or character’s expectations.) Situational = the discrepancy is between appearance and reality, or between expectation and fulfillment, or between what is and what would seem appropriate.

Satire Definition: A literary genre that uses irony, wit, and sometimes sarcasm to expose humanity’s vices and foibles, giving impetus to change or reform through ridicule. Jonathon Swift Oscar Wilde Swift and Wilde were two famous satirists who took aim at British society. Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” pointed out the heartlessness England’s social policies in Ireland, while Wilde wrote about the emptiness of high society in works such as “The Importance of Being Earnest”. Don’t the miss effects
