INTRODUCTION
Relevance of coursework. As human beings, we are hardwired to intrinsically understand the world through the senses—what we hear, smell, see, touch, or taste. To evoke this instinctive nature and help readers better understand literary work, novelists, poets, and storytellers use descriptive language that nudges the five human senses. This language is called imagery. So, exactly what is imagery in literature?
Imagery, in any sort of writing, encompasses the use of literal or figurative language to add symbolism and enable the reader to imagine the world of the piece of literature. In other words, it engages the senses to deepen the reader’s comprehension of what is happening and how to feel about it.
Any sort of writing—fiction or non-fiction, requires multiple ingredients to be coherent and deep yet lucid. One of the critical ingredients is imagery in the description. Even in a career in journalism, which usually deals with hard facts, it can help. Surprisingly, it can help those taking business management careers or pursuing computer science career paths.
The imagery brings better dialogues, plot, and right placing to your story. It allows you to furnish the reader with a photograph (about the story) in words to dispel insipidity. And without it, a work of fiction would be difficult to imagine, harder to put on paper, and almost impossible to connect with the readers. This partly explains the reasons why novelists, storytellers, and poets use imagery in literary works.
Every literary work thrives on two elements: the scenery and the characters. Without proper descriptive words and phrases, the two are bland and the stories built around them are insipid. But with imagery, authors can carve the perfect picture of the characters, settings, and situations.
Most importantly, imagery helps present this image so vividly that it triggers their imagination and enhances their reading skills. Primarily, authors can use literal and figurative imagery to offer intrinsic details such as texture, color, background, positioning, expression of the character, and weather. With the details, it becomes easy for the reader to understand who the characters are, visualize what they are doing, where they are, and even foreshadow the direction that the story might take.
Besides adding clarity to the fictive world, imagery sets the mode and tone of every scene. Literary devices such as simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, and personification help beautify a piece of literature. With imagery, you can make a story tense, suspenseful, thrilling, and more. This way, the reader will have the tools to fully immerse into the story and experience it in a unique way.
