English 10 Literature Lesson #14 Mr. Rinka The Interlopers An Analysis

Setting The time and place in which a story, play, or narrative takes place. Early 20th Century (1900’s) on a winter’s night in a forest in Eastern Europe on the eastern slopes of the Carpathian Mountains.

Setting In a forest of mixed growth somewhere on the eastern spurs of the Karpathians, a man stood one winter night watching and listening, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/Ukraine-Carpathian_Mountains-Polonina_Borzha_Range-13.jpg

Carpathian Mountains http://media-2. web. britannica

Protagonist The main character in a story often called the “hero” Ulrich von Gradwitz is the protagonist. Note how the story revolves around him. http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/attachments/winners-showcase/5350d1192599276-october-2007-runner-up-old-hunter-ludis1-jpg

Antagonist The character or force that blocks the protagonist. Can be another character, nature, society or even some quality within the protagonist. Georg Znaeym Nature Self http://explorepahistory.com/images/ExplorePAHistory-a0j4w3-a_349.jpg

Conflict In literature, the problem that is created between the protagonist and antagonist. The solution of this problem makes up the story.

External Conflict A conflict in which a character struggles against an outside force

External Conflict Man v Man Ulrich von Gradwitz V Georg Znaeym if there was a man in the world whom he detested and wished ill to it was Georg Znaeym, the inheritor of the quarrel and the tireless game-snatcher and raider of the disputed border-forest.

External Conflict Man v Nature Ulrich von Gradwitz V Fallen Limb A fierce shriek of the storm had been answered by a splitting crash over their heads, and ere they could leap aside a mass of falling beech tree had thundered down on them.

Internal Conflict A conflict that takes place entirely within a character’s mind Man v Self http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/attachments/winners-showcase/5350d1192599276-october-2007-runner-up-old-hunter-ludis1-jpg

Internal Conflict Man v Self Ulrich von Gradwitz V Himself The feud might, perhaps, have died down or been compromised if the personal ill-will of the two men had not stood in the way; as boys they had thirsted for one another's blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other,

Moral A lesson about life that a story teaches

Moral Feuds and rivalries when not resolved early can take on a life of their own and lead to disastrous results.

Point of View (POV) The perspective the narrator, storyteller, takes when telling the story.

Omniscient POV The person telling the story knows everything that is going on in the story and can tell what everyone is thinking. Uses the pronouns “he” and “she”.

Omniscient POV Example The two enemies stood glaring at one another for a long silent moment. Each had a rifle in his hand, each had hate in his heart and murder uppermost in his mind. The chance had come to give full play to the passions of a lifetime.

Allusion Reference to a statement, person, place, or event from history, literature, religion, mythology, politics, sports, science, or pop culture

Allusion Example But a man who has been brought up under the code of a restraining civilisation cannot easily nerve himself to shoot down his neighbour in cold blood and without word spoken, except for an offence against his hearth and honour.

Characterization A description of the physical, mental, emotional and behavioral qualities of a person in a literary work.

Characterization The neighbour feud had grown into a personal one since Ulrich had come to be head of his family; if there was a man in the world whom he detested and wished ill to it was Georg Znaeym, http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/attachments/winners-showcase/5350d1192599276-october-2007-runner-up-old-hunter-ludis1-jpg

Direct Characterization The writer describes the physical, emotional and mental qualities directly to the reader.

Direct Characterization Each had a rifle in his hand, each had hate in his heart and murder uppermost in his mind.

Indirect Characterization The reader has to use his own judgment to decide what a character is like based on the evidence that the writer gives.

Indirect Characterization If only on this wild night, in this dark, lone spot, he might come across Georg Znaeym, man to man, with none to witness - that was the wish that was uppermost in his thoughts.

Dynamic Character A Character who changes as a result of the events of a story.

Dynamic Character Example Both men are Dynamic Characters: “Death and damnation to you, Ulrich von Gradwitz." "The same to you, Georg Znaeym, forest-thief, game-snatcher.” For a space both men were silent, turning over in their minds the wonderful changes that this dramatic reconciliation would bring about.

Flat Character A character who has only one or two traits that can be described in a few words.

Flat Character Example The chance had come to give full play to the passions of a lifetime.

Foreshadowing Giving hints or clues beforehand in a story that create suspense and/or subtly prepare the reader for what is to follow.

Foreshadowing Example The roebuck, which usually kept in the sheltered hollows during a storm-wind, were running like driven things to-night, and there was movement and unrest among the creatures that were wont to sleep through the dark hours.

Epiphany The moment of awakening or realization for a character.

Epiphany Example An idea was slowly forming and growing in his brain, an idea that gained strength every time that he looked across at the man who was fighting so grimly against pain and exhaustion. In the pain and languor that Ulrich himself was feeling the old fierce hatred seemed to be dying down.

Flashback A scene in a movie, short story, novel, or narrative poem that interrupts the present action of the plot to go backward and tell what happened earlier.

Flashback Example A famous law suit, in the days of his grandfather, had wrested it from the illegal possession of a neighbouring family of petty landowners; the dispossessed party had never acquiesced in the judgment of the Courts, and a long series of poaching affrays and similar scandals had embittered the relationships between the families for three generations.

Imagery Language that appeals to the senses to create a mental picture.

Imagery Example Ulrich von Gradwitz found himself stretched on the ground, one arm numb beneath him and the other held almost as helplessly in a tight tangle of forked branches, while both legs were pinned beneath the fallen mass.

Irony A contrast or significant difference between expectations and reality

Irony Example "So you're not killed, as you ought to be, but you're caught, anyway," he cried; "caught fast. Ho, what a jest, Ulrich von Gradwitz snared in his stolen forest. There's real justice for you!“ And he laughed again, mockingly and savagely. "I'm caught in my own forest-land," retorted Ulrich.

Verbal Irony A writer or speaker says one thing but really means something completely different.

Verbal Irony Example "Good," snarled Georg, "good. We fight this quarrel out to the death, you and I and our foresters, with no cursed interlopers to come between us. Death and damnation to you, Ulrich von Gradwitz." "The same to you, Georg Znaeym, forest-thief, game-snatcher.“

Verbal Irony Example Both men spoke with the bitterness of possible defeat before them, for each knew that it might be long before his men would seek him out or find him;

Situational Irony Both the audience and the characters experience a surprise or shock at what occurs because they expected something else.

Situational Irony Example "No," said Ulrich with a laugh, the idiotic chattering laugh of a man unstrung with hideous fear. "Who are they?" asked Georg quickly, straining his eyes to see what the other would gladly not have seen. "Wolves.“

Simile A figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things by using a connective word such as “like,” “as,” “than,” “resembles.”

Simile The roebuck, which usually kept in the sheltered hollows during a storm-wind, were running like driven things to-night, and there was movement and unrest among the creatures that were wont to sleep through the dark hours.

Metaphor A figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things in which one thing becomes another thing without using words such as “like,” “as,” “than,” “resembles.”

Metaphor But the game for whose presence he kept so keen an outlook was none that figured in the sportsman's calendar as lawful and proper for the chase; Ulrich von Gradwitz patrolled the dark forest in quest of a human enemy.

Mood The feelings a work stimulates in a reader.

Mood Example While reading “The Interloper” I felt apprehensive because of the dark, harsh setting and the length of the feud.

Tone The attitude a writer takes toward the reader, a subject or a character

Tone Example Saki presents the facts much like an objective journalist and tells the story without taking sides.
