Binary opposition defined. It means that things can be condensed into 2 (polar) answers. Often, understanding 1 is based on the other (these are like analogies: __ is to __ as __ is to __).
Here's a review of binary opposition
We also talked about allegory and extended metaphor. Allegory is a literary device using a name to represent something bigger. For example, if a person's name is Liberty or Freedom, this would be an allegory for that ideal. A literary example would be John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress where the main character's name is Christian. The story in itself is a religious allegory.
