 Literary Terms Week 1

Allegory  Definition: a narrative that serves as an extended metaphor  Allegories are written in the form of fables, parables, poems, stories, and almost any other style or genre. The main purpose of an allegory is to tell a story that has characters, a setting, as well as other types of symbols, that have both literal and figurative meanings.  The difference between an allegory and a symbol is that an allegory is a complete narrative that conveys abstract ideas to get a point across, while a symbol is a representation of an idea or concept that can have a different meaning throughout a literary work

Cadence  Definition: The natural rhythm of language caused by the alternation of accented and unaccented syllables.  Much modern Poetry— notably free Verse — deliberately manipulates cadence to create complex rhythmic effects.

Foreshadowing  Definition: A device used in literature to create expectation or to set up an explanation of later developments.  Foreshadowing hints to events that will occur later in a story.

Narrative Poem  Definition: a poem that tells a story  A narrative poem can come in many forms and styles, both complex and simple, short or long, as long as it tells a story. A few examples of a narrative poem are epics, ballads, and metrical romances.  The art of narrative poetry is difficult in that it requires the author to possess the skills of a writer of fiction, the ability to draw characters and settings briefly, to engage attention, and to shape a plot, while calling for all the skills of a poet besides.

Rhyme Scheme  Definition: the pattern of rhyme used in a poem, generally indicated by matching lowercase letters to show which lines rhyme.  The letter "a" notes the first line, and all other lines rhyming with the first line. The first line that does not rhyme with the first, or "a" line, and all others that rhyme with this line, is noted by the letter "b", and so on.  The rhyme scheme may follow a fixed pattern (as in a sonnet) or may be arranged freely according to the poet's requirements. The use of a scheme, or pattern, came about before poems were written down; when they were passed along in song or oral poetry.
