these literary devices with their But a better butter makes a
corresponding examples. batter better.
A big bully beats a baby
boy.
Peter Piper picked a peck
of pickled pepper.

What do you think is an Alliteration is having the

Alliteration? same first consonant
sounds that occur together
in a series.

That’s right! Allusion –

“Hey! Guess who the new
Newton of our school is?”
“Don’t act like a Romeo in
front of her.”
Achilles heel

What do you think is an Allusion is a brief and

Allusion? indirect reference to a
person, place, thing or idea
of historical, cultural,
literary or political
significance.

broken my new camera.”

different from the actual
meaning of the words.
Metonymy –
We will swear loyalty to
the crown.
After the protests,
maybe China will listen to
the voters.
“The pen is mightier than
the sword.”

What do you think is a A metonymy replaces the

Metonymy? name of a thing with the
name of something else
with which it is closely
associated.

Onomatopoeia –
The buzzing bee flew
away.
The sack fell into the river
with a splash.
The books fell on the table
with a loud thump.

What do you think is Onomatopoeia imitates the

onomatopoeia? natural sounds of a thing.

Oxymoron –
Open secret
Tragic comedy
Liquid gas

What do you think is Oxymoron is when two

oxymoron? opposite ideas are joined to
create an effect

Paradox –
Your enemy’s friend is your
enemy.
“What a pity that youth must
be wasted on the young.”
“I can resist anything but
temptation.”

contradictory.

Litotes –

your point of view.

Your apartment is not
unclean.

What do you think is litotes? Litotes employs

an understatement by
using double negatives or,
in other words, a positive
statement expressed by
negating its opposite
expressions.

Analogy –
Life is like a race. The one
who keeps running wins the
race, and the one who
stops to catch a breath
loses.
“What policemen do in a
town, white blood cells do
inside the body.”
Just as a caterpillar comes
out of its cocoon, so we
must come out of our
comfort zone.

What do you think is analogy? Analogy helps establish

relationship based on
similarities between two
concepts or ideas.

Allegory –
The Lion, the Witch, and
the Wardrobe by C.S.
Lewis is a religious
allegory. In it, we find that
Aslan the lion represents
Christ or God, the White
Witch represents evil, and
Edmund represents Judas
as the betrayer.

The Masque of the Red

Death by Edgar Allan
Poe is an allegory for
death. The moral is no man
escapes death.

What do you think is an An allegory typically

allegory? describe situations and
events or express abstract
ideas in terms of material
objects, persons, and
actions

What do you think is caesura? Caesura –

to err is human; to forgive,
divine.
“I hear lake water lapping ||
with low sounds by the
shore…”
 EXPLAIN LITERARY DEVICES USED

Caesura involves creating

a fracture of sorts within a
sentence where the two
separate parts are
distinguishable from one
another yet intrinsically
linked to one another.

Deus Ex Machina –
In the end of the play,
Thetis the sea goddess
appears to Peleus. She
comes to take Peleus back
with her to her ocean home.
The play ends with Peleus
going with Thetis his wife,
into the ocean.

Theoclymenos is furious
when Helen and Menelaus
trick him and run away
together. In consequence,
he tries to murder his sister
for not telling him that
Menelaus was not dead.
The demi-gods Castor and
Polydeuces – Helen’s
brothers, and sons of Zeus
and Leda – appear
astonishingly to interrupt.

What do you think is deus ex Deus ex machine refers to

machine? the circumstance where an
implausible concept or a
divine character is
introduced into a storyline,
for the purpose of resolving
its conflict and procuring an
interesting outcome.
