Devices
Aside
- a remark or passage by a character in a play that is intended to be heard by the audience but unheard by the other characters in the play (shorter than a soliloquy and reveals secrets)
Pun - the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning; a play on words. (She had a photographic memory but never developed it.)Slide16
Devices
Allusion
- an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference. (Reference to balcony and Romeo in Taylor Swift song)
Soliloquy - an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, especially by a character in a play. (Longer than an aside and reveals inner struggles)Slide17
Devices
Monologue
- a speech delivered by one person, or a long one-sided conversation that makes you want to pull your hair out from boredom. The Greek root word
monologos translates to “speaking alone,” and that's a monologue: one person doing all the talking.Dramatic irony - occurs when the audience knows something the characters do not. Because of this understanding, the words of the characters take on a different meaning. This can create intense suspense or humor.Slide18
Devices
Foil:
In literature, a foil is a character that shows qualities that are in contrast with the qualities of another character with the objective to highlight the traits of the other character.Slide19
