Literary Devices

Literary Devices Simile Metaphor Personification Alliteration Diction Tone Mood Theme

Simile He is as cunning as a fox. Our soldiers are as brave as lions. Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna (going to) get. Def: a comparison using the words “like” or “as”

Metaphor All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances. Life is a mere dream, a fleeting shadow on a cloudy day. Her home was a prison. Def: A direct or implied comparison between two unrelated objects.

Personification The thunder grumbled like an old man. The ocean danced in the moonlight. The run down house appeared depressed. Def: Give human-like qualities or characteristics to non-human objects.

Alliteration Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary. Sally sold seashells by the sea shore. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers… Def: a stylistic device in which a number of words sharing the same first consonant sound occur close together.

Juxtaposition It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…” Def: a literary technique in which two or more ideas, places, characters, and their actions are placed side by side to develop comparisons and contrasts.

Diction The choice and use of words and phrases in a speech or writing. Diction can include the mood, attitude, dialect and style of writing.

Tone Tone is the perspective or attitude that the author adopts with regards to a specific character, place, or development. Tone can portray a variety of emotions, and reflects the writer’s feelings towards a particular topic.

Mood Refers to the situation’s atmosphere. The mood is also the emotions that are evoked in the reader.

Theme The main idea or an underlying meaning of a literary work that may be stated directly or indirectly.
