Characteristics of Sense in a Literary Work

Definition:

The characteristics of sense in a literary work refer to the elements or qualities that contribute to the overall meaning and interpretation of a piece of literature. These characteristics involve the use of sensory language, symbolism, imagery, and other literary devices to evoke sensory experiences and create a deeper understanding for the reader.

Examples:

1. Sensory Language:

In "The scent of freshly baked bread filled the air," the author's use of sensory language appeals to the sense of smell, creating a vivid and immersive experience for the readers.

2. Symbolism:

The recurring image of a broken mirror in the novel represents the shattered identities of the characters, adding depth and symbolic meaning to the overall sense of loss and confusion.

3. Imagery:

The author's description of the sun setting over the ocean paints a vivid picture in the reader's mind, evoking a sense of tranquility and serenity.
