+ Introduction to Figurative Language

+ Journal Entry

+ Why are we learning this? Shakespeare was not only a playwright, he was a poet In poetry, figurative language is used A LOT Since Romeo and Juliet is poetry to a certain degree it is used throughout the play as well!

+ Alliteration Repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds within a phrase or sentence Examples: Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck would?

+ Assonance A type of alliteration Repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming within phrases or sentences Examples: Pink Floyd: "I lie down by the side of my bride"/"Fleet feet sweep by sleeping geese"/"Hear the lark and harden to the barking of the dark fox gone to ground” “Men sell the wedding bells.”

Assonance and Eminem Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy, no He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes It don't matter, he's dope He knows that, but he's broke He's so stagnant that he knows When he goes back to his mobile home, That's when it's back to the lab again yo

+ Consonance A type of alliteration Repetition of consonant sounds to create commonalities within phrases or sentences Examples: She ate seven sandwiches on a sunny Sunday last year. “Best believe somebody’s paying the pied piper”

+ Hyperbole A figure of speech that involves an exaggeration of ideas for the sake of emphasis Examples: This suitcase weighs a ton! I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse!

+ Irony Figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meanings is different from the actual meaning of the words Examples: Someone posting a video on YouTube about how boring and useless YouTube is “Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.”

+ Metaphor vs Simile Metaphors Definition: A comparison between two unlike things; this describes one thing as if it were something else that does not use like or as ex: Life is a highway that takes me home to you Life is a bucket of cold water Similes Definition: A comparison between two unlike things; this describes one thing as if it were something else that does use like or as ex: Life is like a highway that takes me home to you Life is as cruel as a bucket of cold water

+

+ Onomatopoeia A word or phrase which imitates the natural sounds of the thing that it is describing Examples: Moo Meow Pow!

+ Oxymoron Figure of speech in which two opposite ideas are joined to create an effect. Common oxymorons are a combination of an adjective with a noun with a contrasting meaning Examples: The living dead Seriously funny

+ Paradox Statement that appears to be self contradictory or silly but is actually truthful Makes the reader think Different than an oxymoron: as an oxymoron is just two contradictory words Oxymorons don’t have to make sense Examples: Your enemy’s friend is your enemy. “What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.”

+ Check Point! I will show you five quotes from one of Shakespeare’s plays Your job is to tell me which literary device (irony, metaphor, onomatopoeia, oxymoron, paradox) is being represented First person who can tell me and explain why gets a prize!

+ Passage Number One: Hamlet “I must be cruel to be kind.”

+ Passage Number Two: As You Like It “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.”

+ Passage Number Three: The Tempest “Hark, hark! Bow-wow. The watch-dogs bark! Bow- wow. Hark, hark! I hear The strain of strutting chanticleer Cry, ‘cock-a-diddle- dow!’”

+ Passage Number Four: Romeo and Juliet “Go ask his name: if he be married. My grave is like to be my wedding bed.”

+ Passage Number Five: Julius Caesar “fearful bravery”

+ Passage Number Six: Romeo and Juliet What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.

+ Personification Figure of speech in which a thing, idea, or animal is given human attributes or characteristics Examples: The flowers danced in the gentle breeze. The fire swallowed the entire forest I could hear my textbooks calling my name. I knew it was time to study

+ Pun A play on words in which a humorous effect is produced by using a word that suggests two or more meanings or by using similar sounding words having different meanings Examples: An elephant’s opinion carries a lot of weight. A horse is a very stable animal

+ Understatement A figure of speech designed to make something seem less important than it really is Examples: It is an understatement to claim that “it was a tiny bit cold today” in the middle of a polar vortex It is an understatement to claim that “he could stand to lose a few pounds” when referring to a 550 lb. man.

+ Check Point! Choose two of the literary terms from the last section and come up with examples of the two you selected. We will be sharing these!

+ Stanza Definition: Division or unit of a poem Example: Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife

+ Symbol Definition: a thing that represents or stands for something else Example: Colors (i.e. the color green means wealth; envy) Roses (love) Animals (i.e. snake = deception) Two roads ( a choice)

+ Rhyme Definition: Matching of final vowel or constant in two or more words Example: Young son it argues a distempered head, So soon to bid good morrow to thy bed. O she doth teach the torches to burn bright: It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night, Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear: Beauty too rich for us to use, for earth too dear. Did my heart love till now, forswear it sight, For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.

+ Repetition Definition: Repeating a word or phrase for emphasis Example: Nurse: “O woeful, O woeful, woeful, woeful day!” Juliet: "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?"

+ The Prologue to Romeo and Juliet Sonnet- “little song” Italian origin In a traditional Shakespearean Sonnet: There are 14 lines. Written in Iambic Pentameter Contains three quatrains (4 lines), each with an independent pair of alternating rhymes, and a couplet (2 lines) at the end.
