  1. “The Possibility of Evil” Literary Elements

  2. Characterization • Two types: • Indirect: You learn about the character by making inferences and/or judgments • What the character says/does • What other characters say about that character • “Miss Strangeworth always used a dull pencil when she wrote her letters; and she printed them in a childish block print” (Jackson 177). • Direct: the narrator directly tells you about the character. • “Miss Strangeworth hated sloppiness” (Jackson 176).

  3. Irony • In general, Irony is a form of contrasts • 3 types: • Dramatic: You know something that the characters do not • Situational: Something unexpected happens • Verbal: What is said is different than what is meant. • Ex: Strangeworth’s “payback”- situational irony

  4. Foreshadowing • The author gives little clues about what is going to happen in the story. • Often, when you re-read a story, the foreshadowing is more apparent.

  5. Setting/Mood • Setting: when/when the story takes place • Mood: the atmosphere/emotions a story evokes • Often, the setting can affect the mood, such as when a scary movie is set at night and in the rain, or a love story is set in spring.

  6. Symbol Symbol: A person, place, activity, or object that stands for something beyond itself. As you read, think about what the roses may stand for.
