resolution edit

the wikilink to resolution is too general. I can not figure which page it should point to though. Does anyone have any idea where this should point?   STHayden [ Talk ] 02:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

How come repeatition is not accepted as one of the literary elements? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.186.154.86 (talk) 23:29, 30 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Repetition is a literary technique, not a literary element. The easiest way to tell if something belongs on this list or not is to ask whether it is possible to write a literary work without it. If the answer is, "not easily," then it probably belongs on here. Kunaal (talk) 14:53, 11 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
The difference between literary elements (plot, characterization, theme, etc.) should be differentiated from literary devices (e.g., irony, imagery, figurative language). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.49.196.34 (talk) 19:26, 9 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
I agree with this. I'll see if I can make some edits later tonight. This is an important topic, especially for people writing term papers, etc. Ordaku (talk) 01:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Mostly done (a year later). There's still a few (e.g. anagnorisis, foil, etc.) that are questionable. I'll probably remove them once I've linked to this article aggressively enough and start a BRD cycle. Kunaal (talk) 02:23, 11 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Content removal edit

Why did you remove the entire list with the literary elements!? Aren't we suppose to add information to the Wiki, not remove it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.40.64.202 (talk) 09:57, 5 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Narrative structure edit

The narrative structure structure article begins by stating its position as a literary element, but isn't included in the list of literary element terms. By definition narrative structure seems to be a literary element, but I'm not sure what would count as a reliable source to cite its inclusion in the list.

Yes, it is. Look again.—Anita5192 (talk) 04:27, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Never mind. I see now you just added it before I looked.—Anita5192 (talk) 04:29, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Judging by the activity of this talk page I feel as if it would be more helpful to make the change and add a citation required mark Saedes (talk) 04:23, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
