Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 11 AIL 1005 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Epiphany, as the Anchor Defines It
Captions available
The idea
The glossary defines epiphany as a change, sudden insight or awareness revealed to the main character. Sudden is the mark. Joyce's stories in unit ten are built on the device, and the exam can ask where in a passage the realisation falls.
In practice
A sudden insight, to the character.
Where people slip
Suddenness is the defining mark.
