Anouilh Journal #3

4 Literary Techniques

1. Forshadow

-"But if there was a reason why i couldn't go on talking to her" (p. 15). This passage implys that Antigone is going to get herself into trouble, and it also forshawdows that she will die.

2. Imagery

-"Come along, my dove." (p. 13). Tha animals that are being portrayed show that the Nurse feels that Antigone is a "goodie-goodie" girl. She feels that Antigone is a sweet lettile girl.

3. Repetition

-"Stronger than all fever, stronger than any nightmare [...], on the bedroom wall." (p. 14). The repetition of being stronger portrays a hint that the Nurse as well as being important to Antigone, will take on an important role later on in the book.

4. Metaphor

-"A little young for what, my kitten?" (p. 14). Antigone is portrayed as a little sweet girl by the affectionate terms that Anouilh uses. This is seen by the Nurse, who loves Antigone and shows that by the way she talks to her.
