Imagery Examples

"It was dark and dim in the forest."

The words “dark” and “dim” are visual images.

"The children were screaming and shouting in the fields."

“Screaming” and “shouting” appeal to our sense of hearing, or auditory sense.

He whiffed the aroma of brewed coffee.

“Whiff” and “aroma” evoke our sense of smell, or olfactory sense.

Symbolism

Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities, by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense.

Symbolism Examples

The dove is a symbol of peace.

A red rose, or the color red, stands for love or romance. Black is a symbol that represents evil or death.

Multiple Choice

White can be a symbol for which of the following?

• Death

• Purity

Soliloquy

• A soliloquy is one person speaking for an extended duration while alone or while other characters cannot hear. 

• In contrast to a theatrical monologue, when multiple characters are on stage, a soliloquy is usually delivered by a character standing alone on a stage.

• Soliloquies can be written in a poetic verse or in prose

Soliloquy Example

From Romeo and Juliet-Juliet speaks her thoughts aloud when she learns that Romeo is the son of her family's enemy:

O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name.

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,

And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.

Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.

What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,

Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!

Prose

Prose is a form of written language that usually exhibits a natural flow of speech and grammatical structure—an exception is the narrative device stream of consciousness.
