Lit Elements

Comedy - A play characterized by its humorous or satirical tone and its depiction of amusing people or incidents, in which the characters ultimately triumph over adversity
Example: The Comedy of Errors - William Shakespeare (way too long to put all of it on here, but here's a website... http://www.readbookonline.net/title/327/)

Metaphor - a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable
Example: "the sun is Juliet", "he had trays for hands and motors for feet"
