LITERARY DEVICES
Characters In creating his characters, Shakespeare often uses a foil, a character who contrasts with one of his major characters.
Setting Since Shakespearean theaters did not have stage sets with false trees and painted walls, the playwright had to create a sense of where the characters were by using descriptive dialogue.
Mood Shakespeare is brilliant at varying moods and building tension. Then he breaks that tension with such devices as comic relief, in which he uses word play. For example, Shakespeare’s puns make use of a word’s multiple meanings, or they play on its sound.
Suspense Shakespeare builds suspense even when the audience is so familiar with a story that it knows how the play ends. One device he uses is dramatic irony, in which the audience knows what one or more of the people on stage does not know.
