Monologue is a literary device that is the speech or verbal presentation given by a single character in order to express his or her collection of thoughts and ideas aloud. Often such a character speaks directly to audience, or to another character.

Monologues are found in dramatic medium like films and plays, and also in non-dramatic medium like poetry.

For example,the poem 'Ode to a Nightngale' by John Keats has clearly shown the dramatic monologue.

'My heart aches, and a drowsy numbnrss pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness, —
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees
In some melodious plot
Of beechen green, and shadows numberless,
Singest of summer in full-throated ease.'

Foreshadowing is giving a hint that something is going to happen. This is done by showing certain events, people or information that are an indication of something that will occur later on in the story. Foreshadowing can add tension or expectation to the narrative.

Common Examples of Foreshadowing

Sometimes a future event is mentioned earlier in the story, like a comment about a meeting between characters. The reader already knows that that there are issues that will discussed.

A pre-scene shows something that will reoccur. For example, in a western movie, the good guy enters a bar, has a drink, and leaves. The bad guy scowls and spits on the floor and you know there is definitely more to come between them.

Heightened concern is also used to foreshadow events. A child leaves the house and the parent is overly concerned about them. The child tells the parent not to worry, that everything will be fine. Readers will see this worry as a precursor to danger coming soon.

A gun is a sign of upcoming events. Sometimes it will be hidden in a drawer or glove compartment.

Worry or apprehension of a character also foreshadows. This may be shown with facial expressions, gestures, or words. At this point the readers don't know what is wrong, but they anticipate finding out.

A character's thoughts can foreshadow. For example, "I told myself this is the end of my trouble, but I didn't believe myself."

Narration can foreshadow by telling you something is going to happen. Details are often left out, but the suspense is created to keep interest. For examples, the character wakes up and the narration talks about how this is going to be the longest day of his life.

Predictions can obviously foreshadow. Examples are the character losing a talisman or reading her horoscope.

Symbolism is often used for foreshadowing. This might be a lone animal, like a bird, or storm clouds.

Foreshadowing in Literature

Authors often use foreshadowing as a literary device. There are many examples of foreshadowing in literature.

"The leaves fell early that year." This line in the opening of Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms foreshadows an early death.

In Great Expectations Charles Dickens uses the weather to show Pip's angst: "So furious had been the gusts, that high buildings in town had had the lead stripped off their roofs; and in the country, trees had been torn up, and sails of windmills carried away; and gloomy accounts had come in from the coast, of shipwreck and death."

In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Romeo says he prefers to die sooner than live without Juliet's love: "Life were better ended by their hate, Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love."

In the fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood, the mother is concerned for her daughter's safety. Her concern foreshadows the appearance of the big bad wolf.

In Macbeth by Shakespeare, the witches are an omen of future bad things. They foreshadow the evil that is to come.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus foreshadows his own future actions when explains "real courage" to his children. He says, "It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what." He, of course, takes Tom's court case not because he thinks he can win, but because it is the courageous and correct thing to do.

In Charlotte's Web, when Charlotte cautions the barn rat against breaking the goose egg and he insists the egg is safe, this is an example of foreshadowing. Later in the story, the egg does in fact break.

In Great Expectations, the man in the pub who gives money to Pip foreshadows the character's later windfall. It foreshadows that Pip will later receive a fortune from Magwitch.

At the beginning of the Great Gatsby, Tom foreshadows the tragedy to come when he describes the title character's quest to reach the green light without being able to take hold, then notes that Gatsby has disappeared into "the unquiet darkness." This sets the stage for Gatsby's ongoing quest for the unreachable that comes to a tragic end.

Foreshadowing in Movies

Foreshadowing is very common in movies. It often occurs through dialogue and symbolism, like with literature. Musical foreshadowing is also common in movies.

At the beginning of The Wizard of Oz, Miss Gulch is shown changing into a witch, clearly showing what is yet to come.

In The Lord of the Rings, Bilbo's pity is foreshadowed: Frodo: "What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature when he had a chance!" Gandalf: "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."

In Jaws, two characters talk about the fact that scuba tanks are combustible: "Yeah, that's real fine expensive gear you brought out here, Mr. Hooper." sneers Quint. "Course, I don't know what that bastard shark's gonna do with it. Might eat it I suppose." This foreshadows the shark biting the tank.

The menacing music in Jaws is also an example of foreshadowing. It always plays just before the shark arrives on the scene.

In Fatal Attraction, Glenn Close's character says, "Just bring the dog over. I'm great with animals and I love to cook." This foreshadows her killing the rabbit by cooking it.

In Avatar, Grace says, "I'd die to get a sample", referring to the Tree of Souls. Later she is wounded and is taken to the tree and says, "I should get a sample."

In Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, when Donavan says that they are a few steps away from the Grail, Indy says, "that's usually where the ground falls out from underneath your feet." Later, there is an earthquake when they find the Grail.

In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke sees his own face under Vader's mask when he was on Dagobah. Later, he finds out Vader is his father.

In Gran Torino, Walt's horoscope foretells a sudden life change. Then the Hmong girl invites him to dinner with her family.

Irony

Irony is when a statement is used to express an opposite meaning than the one literally expressed by it. There are three types of irony in literature:

Verbal irony: When someone says something but means the opposite (similar to sarcasm).

Situational irony: When something happens that's the opposite of what was expected or intended to happen.

Dramatic irony: When the audience is aware of the true intentions or outcomes, while the characters are not. As a result, certain actions and/or events take on different meanings for the audience than they do for the characters involved.

A sonnet is a poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes, in English typically having ten syllables per line.

Example: Shakespeare's Sonnet XVIII
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? (10syllable)
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: (10)
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, (10)
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
