Alliteration
The triage of attraction in literary structure is literary device, believability and sequential. Alliteration falls into the literary device category. Writer’s, especially poets, use alliteration to attract the reader/audience to a particular scene, moment, and action. Proximal attraction occurs if and only if the believability of the author’s intent is believable uniform to the plot sequence. Alliteration – a literary device prescribing similar consonant sounds to words in physical approximation. Alone, Alliteration may spark acute interest, be it trivially, randomly, with little or mention. Its strength depends upon other factors; author’s purpose, intent, tone, diction, believability and uniformity to its plot.
Question - Choose a character, a statement, a theme, an occurrence, an image, or a scene in a novel, play, or poem and write a personal essay developing your response to your choice. There are two ways to develop this paper. (1) You may make a point by point comparison and/or contrast between the work and yourself. (2) You may refer to the work briefly and then devote the rest of your essay to your own response. For example, you could refer to the novel only once, at the beginning of the paper, using the reference to the novel as a jumping off point for your discussion; or you could refer to the work in your conclusion, to wrap up your topic.
Act 5; scene 1; Hamlet.
Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a juxtaposing carousel of structures; an inlay of levels, within the structural parameters of believability and sequence. Setting, the dramatic personae’s; both dead and alive, the metaphysical embeddings, such as Hamlet’s ghost and MacBeth’s witches, the situational ironies between character and audience, the play of words through dialogue and/or soliloquy, the binding literal and figurative historical references through allusion, foreshadowing, and other literary methods. All the ambiguities and nuances that may hinder believability and uniformity are covered. In Act 5, Scene 1, Hamlet is vexed by the insignificance of Yorick, once an important member of the court, an elderly advisor to Hamlet, now, dust and bones. The significance here is the contradiction of life and death; a parallel to Hamlet's own life, as he fears his life will as well be insignificant. This makes Hamlet contemplate his own methodical madness of conviction.
