Mood-- a literary element that evokes certain feelings or vibes in readers through words and descriptions. Usually, mood is referred to as the atmosphere of a literary piece, as it creates an emotional situation that surrounds the readers. Mood can be developed through setting, theme, tone and diction, imagery, etc.
*After we read ACT I, SCENE I, let's use the list of words for mood to describe it and support our choice with a textual example.
Paradox- from a Greek word that means contrary to expectations, existing belief or perceived opinion. It is a statement that appears to be self-contradictory or silly but may include a latent truth (basically, doesn't seem to make sense but it does). A paradox is often used to make a reader think over an idea in innovative way.
*After we read ACT I, SCENE I, we will attempt to identify the paradox and explain what we think it means/predicts for the reader.
