Literary Terms
1. Setting is the
time, place and cultural, psychological, religious, and economic circumstances
that form the backdrop of a story.
where the story happens- country, city or town, farm, house,
apartment, car
when it happens- year, season, era-modern, Medieval,
-movie Tom Hardy Locke

modern times
1883
where- Oregon, the Old West, US, cowboy
when- guess?
2. A character is
a person, animal or thing presented as an identity in the story. A character
may be characterized by the author through physical appearance, action,
thoughts or words, interaction or response of other characters, and direct
commentary by the author.
Her AI woman character
horror movies – house, car, doll
The Red Violin
Creula De Ville- cruel devil
Cinderella- Ella
cinders- burned wood in a fireplace
a. A major
character is a character that is essential to the story. If a major character
were removed from the story, the story could not develop the same way.
b. A minor
character is a less important character who adds colour to the story but is not
essential to the plot.
c. A protagonist
is the central or primary character in a literary work. The plot of the story
revolves mainly around this character. The reader is meant to sympathize most
with the protagonist.
d. An antagonist
is a character, group of characters, or an institution that works against the
protagonist.
e. Round
Characters are characters who are multi-dimensional. They tend to be developed
physically, mentally, and emotionally and are detailed enough to seem real. A
round character demonstrates varied and sometimes contradictory traits.
f. Flat
Characters are characters who are one-sided and less developed. They reveal
very few personality traits.
g. Stock
Characters are special kinds of flat characters who are instantly recognizable
to most readers. Possible examples include “the businessperson”, “the movie
star” or “the police officer”. They are mainly backdrop in a story and are not
developed.
background actors, extras-
join an agency, do headshots
h. Dynamic
Characters are characters who go through a significant change during the course
of the story. Changes include ones of insight, understanding, commitment, or
values.
i. Static
Characters are characters who do not change through the course of the story.
Events in the story do not alter a static character’s outlook, personality,
motivation, perception, habits, etc., in any fundamental way.
3. Personification
is the attribution of human traits and characteristics to inanimate objects,
phenomena and animals.
4. Plot is the
sequence of related events or actions in a story. A plot can usually be broken
down into a traditional five-part plot structure. These parts are as follows:
a. exposition -
an introduction to setting, the main characters, and situations of the plot
expose(v)- to show
b. rising action
- the events and complications that lead to an important and dramatic point in
the plot
c. climax - the
point of greatest interest and emotional involvement in the plot
d. falling action
- the events that develop from the climax and lead to the conclusion
e. resolution or
denouement - the final outcome which ties up any loose ends left in the story
formulaic romance movies- Hallmark movies
This structure can be depicted as a lopsided pyramid, with
two base lines.
psychology- study of the mind
