UNIT – 6

Emotive language - Emotive language is words and phrases chosen for their
emotion impact. Emotive language often involves connotation, which is implied
meaning beyond a word's literal dictionary definition.
Eg - I drove my car to the store.
Emotive language changes the perspective and impact of this statement:
I angrily sped through town in my dilapidated car until I reached the
overpriced boutique.

Fable – It is a short fictional story that has a moral or teaches a lesson. Fables
use humanized animals, objects, or parts of nature as main characters, and are
therefore considered to be a sub-genre of fantasy.

Antagonist - the antagonist is the opposer or combatant working against the


protagonist's or leading characters' goal “antagonizing” and creating the main
conflict.

Eponymous character - An eponymous hero or heroine is the character in a


play or book whose name is the title of that play or book.
Eg – Dracula, Macbeth etc.

Extended metaphor - An extended metaphor is when one thing is compared


to another in a story, poem, or speech for a longer period, rather than just in one
sentence. It goes beyond a simple comparison and continues throughout the
text, often helping to explain or highlight an idea more deeply.
The extended metaphor allows the writer to explore a concept in greater detail,
adding layers of meaning. The creativity of the comparison can make the writing
more interesting and memorable. It invites readers to think about the metaphor
in new ways, keeping them engaged. In short it enhances the meaning and
emotional impact of a piece of writing, making it more vivid and thought-
provoking.
