What is a hyperbole?

Situational Irony

• When the outcome of a situation is not what is logically expected to happen. It is the opposite of what you expect. An examples of situational irony would be a police officer robbing a bank.

• To find the situational irony, ask yourself "what were you expecting to happen?" If the situation is something different or the opposite of what you might expect, then it is likely situational irony.

Dramatic Irony

• When the audience or the reader is aware of something that the character does not know. For example, when watching a movie the audience knows where the killer is hiding although the characters in the movie do not.

• To identify dramatic irony, ask yourself "what did you already know that someone involved in the situation/story did not know?"

Metaphor and Simile

Metaphor- comparison between two unlike things.

​

Simile- comparison between two unlike things using like or as.​

​

The purpose of both metaphors and similes is to use interesting comparisons to create interesting descriptions or reveal truths about things that may not be obvious.

​Metaphor or Simile?

"Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour

Draws on apace; four happy days bring in

Another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow

This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires,

Like to a step-dame or a dowager

Long withering out a young man’s revenue."

Multiple Choice

Simile or Metaphor?

• Simile

• Metaphor

Hyperbole

"O, I am out of breath in this fond chase!

The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace.

Happy is Hermia, wheresoe'er she lies;

For she hath blessed and attractive eyes.

How came her eyes so bright? Not with salt tears:

If so, my eyes are oftener wash'd than hers.

No, no, I am as ugly as a bear;

For beasts that meet me run away for fear:

Therefore no marvel though Demetrius

Do, as a monster fly my presence thus."

Multiple Choice

How does Helena's use of hyperbole help us understand her character?

• It shows us how much she hates Hermia and her beauty.

• It helps us understand how insecure she is about herself because Demetrius doesn't return her love.

• It shows us how much Helena wishes that she was not so ugly that she frightened away wild animals.

• It lets us see that Helena believes Hermia's ugliness is what draws Demetrius's attention.
