Novel
A novel is a long
prose narrative that describes fictional characters and events in the form of a
sequential story, usually. The genre has historical roots in the fields of
medieval and early modern romance and in the tradition of the novella. The
latter, an Italian word used to describe short stories, supplied the present
generic English term in the 18th century.
2.
Novelty
Novelty (derived from
Latin word novus for "new") is the quality of being new, or following
from that, of being striking, original or unusual. Although it may be said to
have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as
abstract art or impressionism) it generally exists in the subjective
perceptions of individuals.
3.
Metaphor
A metaphor is a figure
of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of
comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. Metaphor is a type
of analogy and is closely related to other rhetorical figures of speech that
achieve their effects via association, comparison or resemblance including
allegory, hyperbole, and simile.
4.
Simile
A simile is a figure
of speech that directly compares two things through some connective, usually
"like," "as," "than," or a verb such as
"resembles." A simile differs from a metaphor in that the latter
compares two unlike things by saying that the one thing is the other thing.
5.
Irony, in its broadest sense, is
a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event characterized by an
incongruity, or contrast, between reality (what is) and appearance (what seems
to be). It is further defined into three major categories: verbal, dramatic,
and situational.
Verbal Irony is an
incongruity between what is said and what is meant.
Dramatic Irony is an
incongruity between what a character in a work of fiction believes to be true
and what the audience knows to be true.
Situational Irony is
an "incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the
normal, [intended], or expected result."

Robert Burns
Robert Burns (25
January 1759 – 21 July 1796) (also known as Robbie Burns,[1] Rabbie Burns,
Scotland's favourite son, the Ploughman Poet, Robden of Solway Firth, the Bard
of Ayrshire and in Scotland as The Bard) was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He
is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated
worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots
language, although much of his writing is also in English and a light Scots
dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard
English, and in these his political or civil commentary is often at its
bluntest.
"My Love is Like
a Red, Red Rose" is a 1794 song in Scots by Robert Burns based on
traditional sources. The song is also referred to by the title My Love is Like
A Red, Red Rose or Red, Red Rose and is often published as a poem.

Christopher Marlowe
(baptised on 26 February 1564 – 30 May 1593) was an English dramatist, poet and
translator of the Elizabethan era. Marlowe was the foremost Elizabethan
tragedian of his day. He greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was born
in the same year as Marlowe and who rose to become the pre-eminent Elizabethan
playwright after Marlowe's mysterious early death. Marlowe's plays are known
for the use of blank verse, and their overreaching protagonists.
The Tragical History
of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, commonly referred to simply as Doctor
Faustus, is a play by Christopher Marlowe, based on the Faust story, in which a
man sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge. Doctor Faustus was
first published in 1604, eleven years after Marlowe's death and at least twelve
years after the first performance of the play.
