2.  Literary Terms and Literary Devices

Protagonist - protagonist is the central character or leading figure in poetry, narrative, novel or any other story. A protagonist is sometimes a “hero” to the audience or readers. 
https://literarydevices.net/protagonist/

Antagonist - In literature, an antagonist is a character, or a group of characters, which stands in opposition to the protagonist, which is the main character. 

https://literaryterms.net/antagonist/

Foreshadowing:  Foreshadowing is a literary device in which the author gives clues about events that will happen later in the story. Often these clues are fairly subtle so that they can only be noticed or fully understood upon a second reading. Foreshadowing can come in the form of descriptive detail, such as storm clouds on the horizon, bits of dialogue, and even in the names an author gives characters. For example, John Steinbeck based his novel East of Eden on the story of Cain and Abel, and named his characters Caleb and Aron to foreshadow their respective fates.


  • · Foreshadowing is an author’s use of hints or clues to suggest events that will occur later in the story.
  • · Not all foreshadowing is obvious. Frequently, future events are merely hinted at through dialogue,description, or the attitudes and reactions of the characters.
  • · Foreshadowing frequently serves two purposes.
    •  It builds suspense by raising questions that encourage the reader to go on and find out more about the event that is being foreshadowed.
    • 2) Foreshadowing is also a means of making a narrative more believable by partially preparing the reader for events which are to follow.

Foreshadowing adds suspense.

Flashback is a literary device wherein the author depicts the occurrence of specific events to the reader, which have taken place before the present time the narration is following, or events that have happened before the events that are currently unfolding in the story.

2.  Themes in literature - The theme in a story is its underlying message, or 'big idea. ' In other words, what critical belief about life is the author trying to convey in the writing of a novel, play, short story or poem? This belief, or idea, transcends cultural barriers. It is usually universal in nature.
