The Close-Reading Toolkit (Paper 1 + Paper 2 + Paper 3)

Form + Structure (Poetry + Drama + Prose)

Form (Poetry): Sonnet (Petrarchan + Shakespearean + Spenserian + Modern), Dramatic Monologue, Ballad, Elegy, Ode, Lyric, Narrative, Free Verse, Blank Verse, Villanelle, Haiku, Concrete Poetry. Form-affects-meaning: a sonnet's 14-line structure signals a single emotional arc, a villanelle's repeated refrains signal obsession, a dramatic monologue signals a single speaker addressing an implied audience, free verse signals an anti-traditional + contemporary + conversational tone, blank verse signals a Shakespearean-era + elevated + iambic-pentameter register.

Structure (Poetry): Stanza breaks + enjambment + caesura + rhyme scheme + meter + rhythm + line length + visual shape + onomatopoeia + alliteration + assonance + sibilance. Structure-affects-meaning: stanza breaks signal thematic shifts, enjambment signals unfinished-thought + emotional-flow, caesura signals pause + emphasis + dramatic-weight, rhyme scheme signals musicality + memorability + closure, meter signals regularity + irregularity + iambic-pentameter for elevation + free-verse for conversation, line length signals breath + clause-length + complexity, visual shape signals concrete-meaning (George Herbert's "Easter Wings" + Shape Poetry).

Form (Drama): Tragedy + Comedy + History + Tragicomedy + Problem Play + Drama + Verse Drama + Modern Drama + Absurdist Drama. Form-affects-meaning: a tragedy ends in death + catastrophe, a comedy ends in marriage + reconciliation, a history focuses on political + military + state-craft, a tragicomedy blends tragedy + comedy, a problem play focuses on social + moral problems, a modern drama focuses on contemporary social + psychological issues.

Structure (Drama): Five-Act Structure (exposition + rising action + climax + falling action + resolution), Three-Act Structure (setup + confrontation + resolution), Climactic Structure (rising-action + climax + denouement), Episodic Structure (scenes + episodes), Expressionist Structure (fragmented + non-linear), Realist Structure (chronological + realistic), Theatrical-Convention Structure (aside + soliloquy + chorus + prologue + epilogue + masque). Structure-affects-meaning: a five-act structure signals classical + Shakespearean + Aristotelian form, a three-act structure signals modern + Hollywood + commercial form, a climactic structure signals Greek-tragedy + Aristotelian form, an episodic structure signals picaresque + multi-plot, an expressionist structure signals psychological + fragmented, a realist structure signals Ibsenite + contemporary.

Form (Prose): Novel + Novella + Short-Story + Romance + Gothic + Bildungsroman + Epistolary Novel + Picaresque Novel + Stream-of-Consciousness + Magical-Realism + Historical Fiction + Graphic Novel + Memoir + Autobiography + Essay.
