A literary term is a word or phrase that describes a specific aspect of literature, such as a figure of speech, a narrative technique, a genre, or a type of writing. For example, metaphor, irony, satire, and allegory are all literary terms.
A genre is a category of literature that is defined by its form, content, and style. Genres can be broad, such as poetry, fiction, and drama; or they can be specific, such as romance, mystery, and science fiction. Genres help readers and writers to classify and analyze literary works. For example, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy, which is a genre of drama.
