combined. For example: “Brawling
love”, “loving hate”, “heavy lightness”

place, or situation from another work of
literature, music, or art.
 For example, reference to mythological
characters such as Diana, goddess of
chastity, and Phaeton the son of the sun
god are literary allusions
 Foreshadowing: the use of clues by an
author to prepare readers for events that
will happen later in the story. Ex:
Romeo’s dream about Juliet in Act V.

contrast between reality and what seems
to be real.

Juliet’s marriage when she is already
married. Juliet’s balcony scene speech
when Romeo is listening
