Literary Terms

The following slides have basic terms that we will be using throughout the class. It is expected that you know and understand them…

Exposition

The introductory material, which gives the setting, creates the tone, presents the characters, and presents other facts necessary to understanding the story.

Inciting Incident

The event or character that triggers the conflict.

Conflict

The main problem or struggle in the story

Conflict

Internal Conflict:

A struggle that takes place within the character

(Man vs. Self)

External Conflict:

A struggle that takes

place with an outside force

(Man versus…Man, Nature,

Society)

Internal Conflict

Man Vs. Self Not all conflict involves other people.

Sometimes people are their own worst enemies. An internal conflict is a good test of a character’s values. Does he give in to temptation or rise above it? Does he demand the most from himself or settle for something less? Does he even bother to struggle?

External Conflict

Man versus ManConflict that pits one person against another

Man versus NatureA run-in with the forces of nature.

Man versus SocietyThe values and customs by which everyone else lives are being challenged.

Rising ActionThe conflict builds as the main character struggles to solve a problem.

ClimaxThe peak of the action in the story or turning point. Frequently, it is the moment of the highest interest and greatest emotion.

Falling ActionThe events after the climax, which close the story.

Resolution (Denouement) or Catastrophe

Tells us how the struggle or problem ends

Major Characters

Almost always round or three-dimensional characters. They have good and bad qualities. Their goals, ambitions and values change. A round character changes as a result of what happens to him or her. A character who changes inside as a result of what happens to him is referred to in literature as a DYNAMIC character. A dynamic character grows or progresses to a higher level of understanding in the course of the story.

Minor Characters

Almost always flat or two-dimensional characters. They have only one or two striking qualities. They are usually all good or all bad. Such characters can be interesting or amusing in their own right, but they lack depth. Flat characters are sometimes referred to as STATIC characters because they do not change in the course of the story.

Direct Characteriza

tion

The writer makes direct statements about a character's personality and tells what the character is like.

Indirect Characteriza

tion The writer reveals

information about a character and his personality through the character's thoughts, words, and actions, along with how other characters respond to that character, including what they think and say about him.

POINT OF VIEW

First PersonThe narrator is a character in the story who can reveal only personal thoughts and feelings and what he or she sees. He can’t tell us thoughts of other characters. The personal pronouns “I” or “We” are used.

Third-Person ObjectiveThe narrator is an outsider who can report only what he or she sees and hears. This narrator can tell us what is happening, but he can’t tell us the thoughts of the characters.

Point of View

Third-Person LimitedThe narrator is an outsider who sees into the mind of one of the characters.

Omniscient The narrator is an all-knowing outsider who can enter the minds of more than one of the characters.

Symbolism

A person, place or object which has a meaning in itself but suggests other meanings as well. Things, characters and actions can be symbols. For example: bright sunshine symbolizes goodness and a wedding band symbolizes commitment and love.

THEME The main idea or underlying meaning of a

literary work.

Four ways in which an author can express themes are as follows:

1. Themes are expressed and emphasized by the way the author makes us feel. By sharing feelings of the main character you also share the ideas that go through his mind.

2. Themes are presented in thoughts and conversations. Authors put words in their character’s mouths only for good reasons. Look for thoughts that are repeated throughout the story.

Theme

3. Themes are suggested through the characters. The main character usually illustrates the most important theme of the story. A good way to get at this theme is to ask yourself the question, what does the main character learn in the course of the story?

4. The actions or events in the story are used to suggest theme. People naturally express ideas and feelings through their actions. One thing authors think about is what an action will "say". In other words, how will the action express an idea or theme?
