Understanding Literary Devices in Writing
What are the different types of characters in literature?
1. Unchanging character
2. Reference to other works or events
3. Complex or main character
4. A recognizable bit undeveloped character that moves the story forward
5. A pattern between the lines in a poem
Answer:
1. Unchanging character - flat character (B)
2. Reference to other works and events - Allusion (A)
3. Complex or main character - Round character (E)
4. A recognizable but undeveloped character that moves the story forward - Stock character (D)
5. A pattern between the lines of the poem - Rhyme Scheme (C)
Explanation:
A flat character is far from being complicated, is two-dimensional, and does not alter. A round character, on the other hand, is complex, evolves, and develops, sometimes even shocking the reader. A stock character represents a type or a specific genre. Fools and villains belong to this category.
An allusion is a literary device used to make a reference to an object or circumstance of an unrelated context. The reader establishes the connection himself. For example, she had nails of a lion.
Rhyme Scheme is the pattern of words at the end of lines in a poem.
