Literature 1

1. drama rarely has a narrator to tell us what is happening or to shape our responses. Play texts instead rely on stage directions (the italicized descriptions of the set, characters and actions) (7, 5)
4. In poetry, the technique of running over from one line to the next without stop. (My heart leaps up when I behold / A rainbow in the sky.) (10)
5. Broadly defined, any sensory detail or evocation in a work. More narrowly, the use of figurative language to evoke a feeling, to call to mind an idea, or to describe an object. Imagery can be auditory, tactile, visual or olfactory. (7)
6. Usually words spoken by characters in a literary work, especially as opposed to words that come straight from the narrator in a work of fiction. More rarely, a literary work that consists mainly or entirely of the speech of two or more characters. (8)

2. A literary work in which characters, actions and even settings have two connected levels of meaning. Elements of the literal level signify (or serve as symbols for) a figurative level that often imparts a lesson or moral to the reader. (8)
3. A sudden revelation of truth, often inspired by a seemingly simple or commonplace event. (8)
7. An extended metaphor is a detailed and complex metaphor that stretches across a long section of a work. (8, 8)
8. A character who not only opposes to the hero/heroine (and thus is an antagonist) but also is characterized as an especially evil person or “bad guy”. (7)
9. The time and place of the action in a work of fiction, poetry or drama. (7)
10. A type or category of works sharing particular formal or textual features and conventions; especially used to refer to the largest categories for classifying literature – fiction, poetry, drama and nonfiction. (5)
