Looking Ahead to the WESTEST

Below are some terms you must define as they apply to literature. Use the glossary of literary terms and index in your literature text as a first source; then, search a literary term dictionary on the Internet in order to find a reliable definition:

dramatic irony, stock character, peripeteia, foil, anagnorisis (recognition), unities, protagonist, antagonist, catharsis, hamartia, tragic hero, Freytag's pyramid, hubris

You will find that some of the terms relate specifically to Freytag's pyramid.
A good link is http://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/documents/Freytag.pdf

This assignment is NOT DUE RIGHT NOW, but some of you want to be prepared for the WESTEST.
