  1. “The Possibility of Evil” Literary Elements

  2. Characterization • Characterization = the way a writer develops a character’s personality and traits. • Writers use four methods in developing characters: - Description of physical appearance - What the character says/does - What other characters say about that character - Narrator directly tells you about the character. • “Miss Strangeworth hated sloppiness” (Jackson 176).

  3. 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. • People in town act strange, Mrs. Strangeworth drops a letter

  4. Setting/Mood • Setting: where/when the story takes place • Small town – “Pleasant Street” • 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. • Mood of this story?
