An example of tragedy is, “’I can’t move,’ Briarpaw croaked. Her hind legs were pinned. She screeched as the beech trembled again” (Hunter 149).

  • Literary Analysis Of Angela Betzein's 'Girl Who Cried Wolf'

    732 Words  | 2 Pages

    Two of these elements are contrast and mood, Angela Betzein has cleverly incorporated these into her play. From the start, the mood is tense and dark. In the dark, dark crevices of “Girl Who Cried Wolf,” lies austere poetry, misleading settings, stormy weather and supernatural themes. Dark topics like murder, abduction, terrorists and PTSD are all instituted in the sinister mood of this production. Secondly, the contrast, characters, ideas and places, is a driving subject in “Girl Who Cried Wolf.” For example, the setting of pleasant lakes is miles off from what the name suggests and even further from what the residents believe it to be, this is a deliberate choice helping to drive the dramatic action. More obviously, Laura and Catriona are polar opposites, dark and reclusive against naïve and extroverted. One writes about abductions and death, the other struggles to understand why she’d be deemed “abducted.” It’s clear to see the contrast and furthermore, the overarching mood. These are only two elements which blend together creating “Girl Who Cried

    For a writer, stylistic devices are key to impacting a reader through one’s writing and conveying a theme. For example, Edgar Allan Poe demonstrates use of these stylistic techniques in his short stories “The Masque of the Red Death” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.” The former story is about a party held by a wealthy prince hiding from a fatal disease, known as the Red Death. However, a personified Red Death kills all of the partygoers. “The Fall of the House of Usher” is about a man who visits his mentally ill childhood companion, Roderick Usher. At the climax of the story, Roderick’s twin sister, Madeline, murders him after he buries her alive. Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories employ the stylistic decisions of symbolism, dream-like imagery, and tone to affect the reader by furthering understanding of the theme and setting and evoking emotion in readers.

  • Use of Tone in Literature

    865 Words  | 2 Pages

    While The Death of a Salesman, The Things They Carried, and The Death of a Toad are different in format and style, the use of tone in each accomplishes the same goal – to reveal motivation, emotion, and feeling, or in other words, to reveal the human side of literature. All three of these works have very simple plots, but they still convey very complex messages about humanity.
