Literary resources: They improve reading comprehension
Introduction.
Patrick Süskind in his work ‘The perfume’ tells us the story of a murderer, this was Jean Baptiste Grenouille, an extraordinary talent, if it could be said, because he lacked his own smell, but it was thanks to this that during the narrative he developsextraordinarily its sense of smell. In a mixture of mystery, terror, magical realism intermingle passions, glare, loneliness and human fears, because here Süskind achieves what he wants, capturing the attention of each of his readers from a set of techniques better known as literary.
Where it is specifically based on the use of literary figures or methods that will generate greater beauty to the novel in addition to elements such as a narrator, time and space. Now these resources or techniques applied by the author clearly help a better understanding of the work? Of course, then I will argue this statement.
However, in the work of ‘The perfume’ the author of this reflects within it a series of literary resources that are nothing more than techniques, linguistic or stylistic procedures separately in the common way of speaking, in order to give a greaterexpressiveness to language in this case within the novel. Before this, the perfume is not simply a story, but a literary work that stepped on the world of letters in 1985 and left its mark forever in universal literature here we clearly see how this author when publishing his book caused an impact totally on thatgeneration around such a year and what would follow, since as Monsalve ‘the perfume’ expresses
Consequently, the German author plays his role great, since he uses of these resources dynamically, that is, varied with different types of these such as: semantics, grammatical, phonic and thought. But in this case we will only focus on three because the phonic resource is not very available within the work, so we begin with semantic resources which refers to different words in meaning, but that are related in common as those is the casesimile or comparison.
The metaphor that is the relationship between two words in order to explain the connection between them, hyperbole that has been the exaggeration of some statement or phrase, personification in which real attributes to inanimate objects are given, among others. Here we have a clear example of simile, a dark night as a wolf’s mouth, we can see how the darkness of the night is linked to the inside of the mouth of a certain animal, in this case a wolf as this model can find many insideof the book because Süskind used most comparisons.
As for the hyperbole: it was as if it had an immense aroma vocabulary. Another example of this type of resources is the personification ‘and the cassock was collected, grabbed the vociferous basket and ran through the labyrinth of Callejas. In this case a wolf as well as this model we can find many within the book because Süskind mostly used comparisons. As for the hyperbole it was as if it had an immense aroma vocabulary.

In this case a wolf as well as this model we can find many within the book because Süskind mostly used comparisons. As for the hyperbole “it was as if it had an immense aromas vocabulary. Another example of this type of resources is the personification ‘and the cassock was collected, grabbed the vociferous basket and ran through the labyrinth of Callejas.
We observed at first glance the author’s exaggeration by wanting to explain the fact that Grenouille perceived many smells. Another example of this type of resources is the personification ‘and the cassock was collected, grabbed the vociferous basket and ran through the labyrinth of Callejas. We observed at first glance the author’s exaggeration by wanting to explain the fact that Grenouille perceived many smells. Another example of this type of resources is the personification “and the cassock was collected, grabbed the vociferous basket and ran through the labyrinth of Callejas.
Then we have grammatical resources these are expressive procedures that are produced by adding, suppressing or repeating words and structures, or by the alteration of the natural order, in addition to the highlights of certain terms or expressions of which we have the following, in terms of additionAnd suppression ‘but the tick, stubborn, stubborn and disgusting, remains curled up, lives and waiting, this statement is an epithet because with respect to this we can say that it is a qualifying adjective that names characteristics of a noun character,
Another example, but we have a repetition, we have ‘the rivers strung, the squares stink, the churches strung and the stench was breathing equally under the bridges and in the palaces, because here we see an anaphoraor statement to insist recidivism, because in many cases it is important to relate it from what is being talked about.
Finally there are thought resources, these are figures based on the presentation of unique ideas or an unusual relationship between content is also created, or the relationship between word and reality, corresponding to this’ also had spices, from anise seeds tocinnamon, syrups, liquors and fruit juices, chipre wines, malaga and corinthSee clearly reflected the presentation of ideas on this occasion regarding certain edible spices.
Well here, several of the types of resources used by our beloved author Patrick Süskind to beautify and enhance his literary work, it shouldCase the story of a murderer because for that it is also necessary to know of each of the characters that perhaps play an important role for the explanation regarding the ‘why’ is a murderer.
As for this, the author is handled from a very detailed description of each of the characters as ‘his appearance was creepy. The hair reached his knees, the beard, rala, to the navel. Their nails were like bird claws and the skin of arms and legs, in the places where the Andrajos did not cover them, they got rid of strips.
We certainly have a great example of how his descriptions are basically in characters, here he is talking about his main character Jean Baptiste Grenouille of how his appearance was after living for seven years in a cave in the Plomb du Cantal mountain we also have that this statement orPhrase is a prosopography, one of the elements also used in the work.
However, he not only had literary figures or explicit description methods to enhance his novel but other aspects more than mention how the narrator is that in this issue is omniscient this refers to the description of what the characters see, hear, hear,They think and feel apart from that it is everywhere in terms of narration, also that you can tell things that have not been witnessed by the characters. In addition to a certainly witness narrator.
Another aspect is time and space, because these allow us to place in the place even year where events narrated in the work are carried out, before this we have, in France specifically Paris around the 18In other words, an achievement of facts also observed the analog.
Finally we see the literary current, which will give us the reasons for why Süskind wrote as such his work, in other words what caused this style that drew the attention of readers so much. There are two literary currents: neoclassicism and romanticism, so we can mention the romanticism that thanks to it the novel treats issues such as the passion of Grenouille for the perfect fragrance that obtained from the body of virgin girls.
There is also the feeling of the main character developed by the first girl he met with extremely delicate fragrance and could say exquisite for the evolved sense of Grenouille smell. On the other hand of neoclassicism we say that it is based on a system as its name indicates a bit classic in the work because it focuses on years not so updated, so, but very sophisticated and with forms of reign or kingdom within a city ofParis.For this reason, it is said that the work of the German author marked a before and after in the literary form, since it is handled of a series of purely literary resources that magnificently embellish their work.
conclusion.
In conclusion, the work ‘The perfume’ by the German Süskind causes in its readers a clear understanding and understanding, since the techniques or methods of which it is worth are essential. So it is a reflection of a sincerely developed work, since your book offers what is necessary to get hooked on the story you tell. It is worth noting all the types of resources that they used as are semantic, grammatical and thought here within each aspect there were figures or forms that would enhance their novel, in addition to other elements that contribute to a good set of literary or linguistic resources.
