Both of these writers might seem like they had different ideas, but they both elaborated on new methods that makes one’s work modernistic, making the future bright for their descendants and followers. When reading “Modern Fiction,” I noticed that Woolf explains her way of defining ways to create a good fiction modernistically while she points out what makes a bad fictional writing as well. Being one of England’s famous authors of her time period, between World War I and World War II (Encyclopedia of World Biography. 2nd ed. Vol.
Explore the ways in which Shakespeare creates character in the first two scenes of Othello. What are the audience’s expectations of the two major characters discussed (Othello and Desdemona) and in what ways are these expectation met or challenged by their eventual appearance on stage? In the two opening scenes of Othello the personalities and machination of the play’s key characters are revealed through a combination of dialogue, action and metaphor and it is these early insights into character that lay the foundations for the audience’s appreciation of the rest of the play as their perceptions are challenged and ingrained ideologies overturned. More importantly than how individual characters are introduced is the way they are shown to interact with one another. In the first two acts base human emotions such as anger and envy as well as crucial areas of human behaviour (deceit, for example) are used to encapsulate the interpersonal rapports and conflicts between the principal roles.
First of all, how does conversation function in Much Ado about Nothing? Conversation is used to give direction to the plot of a story, movie or (in this case) the play. Conversation is an extremely helpful tool in the world of writing, from using it to add to the plot, or to confuse the watchers or readers. Imagine what books would be like without conversation. Think about it: a play without conversation would lack dialogue, and it would not be a play anymore.
It also presents the opportunity to foreshadow future events and build suspense, both of which are important aspects of popular literature in the time that the novel was written. By presenting Victor at his weak, despaired state at the beginning of the story, the reader is encouraged to try to think about what might happen to Victor to make him this way. In this way suspense is built up. Later in the story, the creature’s past is detailed in the form of a story, inside of Victor’s story. While many books have separate chapters, following
'Most novels are written to reflect real events in real worlds'. Discuss the features that make a novel you have studied seem realistic (or unrealistic), and explain why realism is appropriate (or inappropriate) to the novel's main themes Many novels reflect true events in the world in some way and are written to feel realistic to the reader. This is to make the ideas in the novel easier to take on board and more relevant to the reader's actual lives. One such novel is The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. This novel uses the emotions of the narrator, the actions and events in the story and the way that they connect with and clearly stem from society at the time that the novel was written, to make the novel easy to relate to for a reader and allows them to take on board the lessons and themes of The Handmaid's Tale in a more personal and meaningful way.
Not only can myths be used to explain nature and our own physical existence, but they can also have contextual meaning to illustrate a theme or dilemma. William Shakespeare used mythology and lore in his plays to portray imagery, contrast characters and foreshadow various aspect of the plot in an effort to emphasized suspense and ameliorate the play. In Hamlet, Shakespeare often blended mythological and biblical references into his literary work as a means of grasping the reader’s attention to a specific theme or dilemma within the play. Mythology and lore thrive on momentous suspense and emotional attachment, but what literary techniques do authors use to achieve this? Authors often use vivid descriptions and sensory enriched words to attract one of the five major senses (hearing, touch, taste, smell and sight) to convey an action, image or event; the lure of the imagery is what keeps the reader attuned.
Having an imagination is necessary to get deeper in the story, and a good memory is also required to tie the pieces of the story together. And of course an artistic sense to appreciate the beauty of the author’s writing. Nabokov states “Since the master artist used his imagination in creating his book, it is natural and fair that the consumer of a book should use his imagination too.” The reader needs to also understand and appreciate the language used by the author. He needs to pay attention and notice the details in a novel and not just the general storyline. He needs to read with an open mind regardless of other people’s judgment of the novel.
This realization helps the story by increasing the intensity and suspense and by causing the reader to be curious of the future events that may occur. Literary Device : Foreshadowing Analysis: In addition, the usage of foreshadowing in the “Then There Was Two” becomes an important literary device that adds to the effectiveness of the story. With the usage of foreshadowing, the author is able to create suspense, intrigue, and a sense of momentum in the story.

Child Narrators The process of writing fiction and short stories allows for much imagination. Authors often write humorous, real-life or even extravagant story lines that take on many varieties and points of view. Often, authors find that using different points of view can add to a plot and sometimes make a story more exciting. Age and gender are arguably the most important characteristics an author has to choose from when picking out a point of view for his or her narrator. These characteristics can influence the opinions and even the interpretations of a reader which is why the author’s decision is vital in how he or she wants the story to be viewed.
