  1. Lesson 13 HonorsFigurative Lang.& Foils -to identify literary devices and their effects -to understand how a character foil enhances the understanding of the main character

  2. Figurative Language Review Define the following terms in your R+J Packets

  3. Figurative Language Review Questions • Romeo: “Love is smoke made with the fume of sighs” • What kind of figurative language is this? • What is the comparison or use of figurative language? • “One fairer than my love! The all seeing sun/Ne’er saw her match, since first the world begun.” • What kind of figurative language? • What is the comparison/use? • Read through page 280 and let’s do the example question together.

  4. New Figurative Language Terms

  5. PreAP Terms Practice • Turn to the Prologue on page 261 (in SB books). • Go through the Prologue and see how many of the PreAP terms you can spot!

  6. Character Foils & Puns • A foil is a character who provides a ______________________to another character. • A foil may emphasize another character’s ______________________ or may make another character look better by comparison. • A foil essentially is a character that ________________ and _________________ another character. • A pun is a play on words. Strong contrast Distinctive traits compares contrasts

  7. Read Act II, Scenes 3-4 • Time to read… graphic novel style!

  8. Character Foils & Puns You may have noticed Shakespeare’s use of wordplay in R&J. For example, Shakespeare makes liberal use of puns, or play on words, that have two meanings. In Act II, Scene 4, Mercutio and Romeo engage in an exchange in which Mercutio scolds Romeo for giving his friends “the counterfeit” the night before. Romeo, still on top of the world after spending the evening with his new love Juliet, goes along with Mercuito’s joke. The next several lines capitalize on the dual meanings of counterfeit and slip. • Why do you think puns are known as “thinking man’s humor?” • In this scene, the wordplay between Romeo and Mercutio helps characterize their friendship and reveals contrasts between them. Compare the characters in the chart on page 281.

  9. Figurative Language Practice • For the remainder of class, you will complete the worksheet on figurative language and answer the exit ticket.

  10. Exit TicketAnalysis Practice • Shakespeare writes dialogue in a variety of styles in this act: (1) rhyming couplets in iambic pentameter, (2) unrhymed (blank) iambic verse, and (3) nonmetrical prose. • In other words, why does Shakespeare have some characters speak metrically and others not, some rhyme and others not? Examine various combinations of these three dialogic syles found so far in Act II and judge his possible artistic purpose in all cases. • Justify your claims by referring to particular examples of each style, assess his purpose in doing so. • 3-4 paragraphs.
