Literary Devices

SIMILE An explicit comparison between two things using 'like' or 'as'. This dress fits like a glove. My love is as a fever, longing still For that which longer nurseth the disease, - Shakespeare, Sonnet 147 ***The very mystery of him excited her like a door that had neither lock nor key. -Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind

Metaphor Implied comparison wherein the author says something is something else; not used in the literal sense; used to show similarities between two different things and to shed new light on the object of the metaphor. Chaos is a friend of mine. -Bob Dylan Dying is a wild night and a new road. -Emily Dickinson ***All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. -Shakespeare, As You Like It

PERSONIFICATION Giving human characteristics to inanimate objects or abstract ideas. England expects every man to do his duty. -Lord Nelson Jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. -Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet ***The dish ran away with the spoon. -Mother Goose

OXYMORON Apparent paradox achieved by the juxtaposition of words which seem to contradict one another. Jumbo shrimp. A new classic. I must be cruel only to be kind. -Shakespeare, Hamlet ***Seriously funny

DRAMATIC IRONY When the audience possesses an awareness greater than that of one or more characters on stage/ involved. In a scary movie, when we know the killer is waiting around the corner where the character is headed. ***When Simon realizes the Beast is actually a dead parachutist and runs to tell the others. –Lord of the Flies

Pun A play on words; using the dual meaning or sound of a word to create alternate meanings in its use. A boiled egg every morning is hard to beat. I was struggling to figure out how lightning works when it struck me. ***She had a photographic memory but never developed it.

IMAGERY -Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men The use of vivid detail and concrete, sensory description to create a picture in the mind of the reader. Although there was evening brightness showing through the windows of the bunk house, inside it was dusk. -Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men ***Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. -William Wordsworth, Daffodils

HYPERBOLE Exaggeration for emphasis or humor I’ve told you a million times… I was quaking from head to foot, and could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far. -Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi ***I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.

FORESHADOWING When the author drops subtle hints about events that will happen later in the story. In Lord of the Flies, Roger throws rocks at Henry. Later, he pushes a boulder onto Piggy. ***You do bad things and I got to get you out. -George in Of Mice and Men

Alliteration Stylistic device where multiple words with the same first consonant sound occur close together. The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free; -Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner ***She sells seashells by the seashore.
