LITERARY DEVICES
DEFINITION
Literary Devices are common
structures used in writing. These devices can
be either
literary elements or literary techniques.
It provides a broad structure under which all

the types of literature are classified, studied
and understood that makes the text so rich
and expressive.
Here are some literary devices from the story
“Romeo and Juliet”.
Similes are one of the most commonly used

literary devices; referring to the practice of drawing
parallels or comparisons between two unrelated and
dissimilar things, people, beings, places, and
concepts.
Similes are marked by the use of the words

'as' or 'such as' or 'like.'
Example:
He is like a mouse in front of the teacher.

Foreshadowing refers to the use of indicative

words/phrases and hints that set the stage for a story
to unfold and give the reader a hint of something
that is going to happen without
revealing the story or spoiling the suspense.
Foreshadowing is used to suggest an upcoming

outcome to the story.
Example:
He had no idea of the disastrous chain of
events to follow.
Rhyme scheme is the practice of rhyming words placed

at the end of the lines in prose or poetry. Rhyme scheme
refers to the order in which particular words rhyme.
If the alternatewords rhyme, it is an “a-b-a-b”rhyme scheme, which

means“a” is the rhyme for the lines 1 and 3 and “b” is the rhyme
affected in the lines 2 and 4.
Example:
Roses are red (a)
Violets are blue (b)
Beautiful they all may be (c)
But I love you (b)
The above is an “a-b-c-b” rhyme scheme.

Repetition is just the simple repetition of a

word, within a sentence or a poetical line, with
no particular placement of the words.
This is such a common literary device that it is

almost never even noted as a figure of speech.
Example:
Today, as never before, the fates
of men are so intimately linked.
Oxymoron is significant literary device as it allows

the author to use contradictory, contrasting
concepts placed together in a manner that actually ends
up making sense in a strange,and slightly
complex manner.
An oxymoron is an interesting literary device because it

helps to perceive a deeper level of truth and explore different
layers of semantics while writing.
Examples:
Sometimes we cherish things of little value.
He possessed a cold fire in his eyes.
Metaphor are one of the most

extensively used by way of another.
In a metaphor, one subject is implied to be another so

as to draw a comparison between their similarities and
shared traits.
Example:
Henry was a lion on the battlefield.
