The document defines and provides examples of literary devices including imagery, metaphor, simile, aside, soliloquy, monologue, and denoument. Imagery uses language that appeals to the senses, metaphor compares two opposing things without "like" or "as", and simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two things. Examples of aside, soliloquy and monologue are given from Shakespeare's plays with act and line numbers. Foreshadowing is defined as clues to future events.

 Imagery – The language which stirs up the 5
senses:

 Metaphor – Comparing 2 opposing things without
using like or as. Ex: I fell through a trapdoor of
