25 Literary Terms

THE RULES Copy each term. YOU DECIDE if you also want to copy my examples in italics.

1. Aesthetic Appeal — beautiful or pleasing to the senses (lyrical poetry has an aesthetic appeal to the ear.) 2. Alliteration – repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words (“Gary got green goggles.”) 3. Allusion – reference to another work or famous figure assumed to be well known enough to be recognized by reader (Romeo frequently alludes to Venus and Cupid when discussing love.) 4. Apostrophe – usually in poetry, the device of calling out to an imaginary, dead, or absent person, or to a place, thing, or personified abstraction (“Age, thou art shamed/Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods.” [Julius Caesar, Shakespeare]) 5. Assonance – repetition of vowel sounds between different consonants (“The low goat was told to go.”)

6. Blank verse – poetry written in unrhymed iambic pentameter (“Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes and groves,/And ye that on the sands with printless foot” [The Tempest, Shakespeare]) 7. Diction – word choice (Holden Caulfield’s diction includes a lot of slang and cursing.) 8. Elegy -- formal poem focusing on death or mortality (She read an elegy at his funeral.) 9. Foil – character who, by contrast, highlights the characteristics of another character (Angry Tybalt is peaceful Benvolio’s foil in Romeo and Juliet). 10. Foreshadowing – use of a hint or clue to suggest a larger event occurring later in a literary work (Romeo dreams that Juliet finds him dead shortly before it happens.) 11. Free verse – poetry written without a regular meter or rhyme “I celebrate myself, and sing myself, /And what I assume you shall assume,/ For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.” (“Song of Myself,” Whitman)

12. Gothic – type of novel that uses mystery, suspense, and sensational/supernatural occurrences (“The Fall of the House of Usher,” by Poe, is Gothic because the story includes images of death and sickness, unanswered questions and events that are so sensational that they border on supernatural.) 13. Hubris – excessive pride/ambition leading to downfall of hero (In The Odyssey, Odysseus arrogantly taunts the Cyclopes after wounding him and declares his name. The Cyclopes prays to his father, Poseidon, who curses Odysseus with several more years of wayward sea-voyaging.) 14. Interior Monologue – writing that records the conversation that occurs inside a character’s head (“The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” is a short story that uses an interior monologue [stream of consciousness] to depict the thoughts of a dying woman.) 15. Lyric – melodious, imaginative, and subjective poetry that is usually short and personal (“In a deep song voice with a melancholy tone /I heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan”[“The Weary Blues,” Langston Hughes]) 16. Metonymy or Synechdoche – uses name of an object, person, or idea to represent something with which it is associated (“We must protect the crown!” [meaning the monarchy])

17. Motif – an image or object with repeated mention throughout a story (a motif of falling occurs throughout The Catcher in the Rye) 18. Ode – long, lyric poem, usually serious and elevated in tone; often written to praise someone or something (“O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done/ The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,” [“O Captain! my Captain!” Whitman]) 19. Oxymoron – composed of contradictory words or phrases (“bright smoke, cold fire, sick health” [Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare]) 20. Pastoral – poem about idealized rural life (Robert Frost’s work is pastoral because he writes about nature.) 21. Simile – figure of speech using like or as to make a comparison (“He’s as bright as a firefly.”)

22. Sonnet – fourteen line poem that follows a specific rhyme scheme (Varieties include English and Petrarchan) 23. Synesthesia – sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality (“delicious music” “cool green”) 24. Tone – author’s attitude toward subject, characters, and audience (Slang creates an informal tone.) 25. Theme – a message or moral-of-the-story from the author (the theme of The Scarlet Letter is not to live in guilt.)
