Allegory in which the barnyard animals who overthrow the farmer and take over the farm represent the Russian Revolution and its aftermath. Alliteration

Rhetorical Question
A question asked by the speaker for effect, rather than because a response is needed or expected.
In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Caesar delivers one of literature’s most famous rhetorical questions as he is assassinated by a group that includes Brutus, one of his most loyal supporters. Even today, the Latin phrase “Et tu, Brute?” (And you too, Brutus?) is commonly used to express a profound sense of betrayal to a friend. 
 
Setting
The time and place in which a story unfolds.
The setting of The Crucible by Arthur Miller is the small town of Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692.
 
Stanza
A group of lines in a poem that is separated from other lines, similar to a paragraph in prose. 
“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge contains 143 stanzas of varying length.
 
 
Theme
An underlying or emerging abstract idea or concept explored in a literary work. One work may explore multiple themes.
The dystopian novels 1984, Brave New World, and The Handmaid’s Tale all explore the theme of subjugation of the individual for the benefit of society.
 
Vignette
A short, descriptive passage or scene within a larger story or work; generally serves to establish mood, setting, or character rather than advance the plot. 
The first several sections of The House on Mango Street consist of a series of loosely related vignettes. These fragmented scenes give the reader short glimpses into the world of the young narrator, Esperanza.
