Main Ideas and Concepts

Detailed Explanation of Literary Figures with Examples

  1. Simile (Comparación)
    • Explicit comparison between a real term and a poetic term.
    • Requires connectors such as "like," "as," "similar to."
    • Example: "She was like a heavenly angel."
    • Other examples: "Rose from the ashes like a phoenix."
  2. Metaphor (Metáfora)
    • Similar to Simile but without connectors.
    • Meaning is transferred directly from one concept to another.
    • Example: "I love the pearls of your mouth" (pearls = teeth).
    • Can use forms of the verb "to be" as a link (e.g., "Your eyes are an oasis in the desert").
  3. Antithesis (Antítesis)
    • Use of opposite ideas to enhance expressiveness.
    • Examples:
      • "Love is so short and oblivion is so long" (Pablo Neruda).
      • "Your heart lives in the light and mine in the amazon of darkness."
      • "We suffer too much for how little we lack and enjoy little for how much we have" (Shakespeare).
  4. Paradox (Paradoja)
    • Joins two seemingly contradictory or illogical ideas that reveal a deeper truth.
    • Examples:
      • "The more I live, the more I die."
      • Socrates’ phrase: "I only know that I know nothing," highlighting the beginning of knowledge through recognizing ignorance.
  5. Allegory (Alegoría)
    • An extended Metaphor with a prolonged correspondence of symbols.
    • Examples:
      • Jorge Manrique’s poem comparing life to rivers flowing to the sea (death).
      • Biblical passage: "You are the salt of the earth," symbolizing integrity and usefulness.
  6. Hyperbole (Hipérbole)
    • Exaggeration of reality to emphasize a point.
    • Examples:
      • "I've explained it to you a million times."
      • "So much pain gathers in my side that from hurting it hurts even my breath."
      • "I love you to infinity and beyond."
  7. Personification / Prosopopoeia (Personificación / Prosopopeya)
    • Attribution of human qualities to animals or inanimate objects.
    • Examples:
      • "The night wind spins in the sky and sings" (Pablo Neruda).
      • "The moon told me that you weren't there."
  8. Synesthesia (Sinestesia)
    • Attributing a quality perceived by one sense to an object associated with another.
    • Examples:
      • "The cold aroma of your indifference."
      • "She sang with a sweet voice."
      • "She had a dull sadness."
  9. Epithet (Epíteto)

    • Examples: "Green tree," "soft pink," "white snow."
  10. Anaphora (Anáfora)
    • Repetition of one or more words at the beginning of successive verses or statements to create rhythm and emphasis.
    • Example: Repetition of "he walked" in a poem by Rubén Darío.
  11. Hyperbaton (Hipérbaton)
    • Alteration of the conventional word order for emphasis or expressiveness.
    • Examples:
      • "Your kisses and your tears I had in my mouth" (instead of the normal order: "I had your kisses and your tears in my mouth").
      • "Green willows there is a thicket" instead of "There is a thicket of green willows."
