Findings
In classic literature, analogy infuses substance and feeling into a thought or image. Writers
mostly use this capability to convey importance and magnificence in the accounts they tell.
Reading a novel or a sonnet without finding something like one analogy is almost unimaginable.
The analogies in classic literature pose convincing cases in manner of speaking. Promoting and
showcasing dialect, political discussions, and instructional genuine works are a portion of the
fields where relationships present strong, influential contentions. For instance, here is the famous
excerpt from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, lines from Juliet:
It is an analogy since she explains upon it. She begins by announcing that names are immaterial.
To make this statement, she sets that a rose will constantly possess a scent like a rose regardless
of what one could call it. Wrapping the analogy up, Juliet mentioned that, very much like the
rose, Romeo will remain what his identity is — somebody she adores — regardless of what
name he has.
A classic literature more of than not, focuses on a plot driven story, likewise alluded to as a
narrative driven story, is one in which occasions override character improvement — focuses on
Plot driven stories sure are not without any trace of characters using any and all means, yet you
glean some significant knowledge more about what the characters do than their thought process.
Dream and secret books will often fit this viewpoint well, taking readers on an excursion that
depends vigorously on story components and plot focuses. Aristotle previously defined
characterization in the fifteenth century, discussing the significance of plot over character in
Poetics, “Tragedy is representation, not of men, but of action and life.” What he means here is
that “tragedy” is not focused on the considerations, and narratives, and dreams of the characters.
The story is fixated on what befalls them or the plot, so authors utilize characterization to
transfer data about those contemplations, chronicles, and dreams, without floating away from the
activity.
While in cyber literature, like post-modern literature, as analyzed in His Blonde Little Secret and
Montello High, it stresses characterization much more than classical literature. This is on the
grounds that characterization is a significant device in the plot-driven story. They can rapidly
associate the reader to the characters, without making them out of the move. At the point, when
one is in the middle of moving characters starting with one spot then onto the next, getting things
going for them, the readers cannot stop reading: an interest gainer. In that essence, nobody will
genuinely think often about a story on the off chance that they couldn't care less about its
characters, whether by affection or disdain or even entertainment or pity. For example, readers
are moved by the inner thoughts of Bella Winters in His Blonde Little Secret, revealing her
identity and perspectives on every event that has a direct effect on her. Readers are fascinated
when she talked about their personalities and feelings in her own mind, which often helps the
In this way, adjusting these two areas of development is extremely helpful. Plot and character
ought to be creating next to each other and depend upon one another, which mirrors the human
experience.
Climax
In classic literature, there is usually a single lead climax within a short story. The climax is
characterized as the central turning point of the story when the central character confronts the
opposing force (conflict), thus producing it the most powerful aspect of the plot. Authors develop
the order of the texts to build excitement by organizing them in order of increasing significance.
As a stylistic device, climax can be in songs, speeches to poetry, novels, and plays.
Usually in classic literature, the climax happens inside the center of the plot, nonetheless, as
writing advanced, writers started to invest more energy fostering the piece and rising actions.
While, presently in the cyber literature short stories, as analyzed in His Blonde Little Secret and
Montello High School, climax happens nearer to the furthest limit of the message, fairly joining
it with the falling actions and goal. While the five elements of climax still exist in cyber
literature, they are not quite so uniformly distributed as they used to be. These shorts stories are
usually part of a series of works with various climaxes. Climax in each series usually serve as the
In comparison, both classic literature and cyber literature use conflicts to exhibit human nature.
No conflict would mean no story at all. Most steadfast stories contain more than one conflicts,
and one conflict can form into one more during a person's journey in the short story. It is
essential to the author to figure out the character’s attributes, as well as what sort of literary
character the individual is, to appreciate more the conflict being presented.
conflicts, as part of the plot, in this type of literature focus more on the building up of the
characters’ traits, attitudes and ways of solving the conflict than plot itself.
Dialogue
individuals. Based on the comparison conducted, an author's utilization of dialogue traces all the
way back to classic literature, in particular Plato's Republic and other such works. Plato and
other scholars generally utilized the dialogic strategy for contention and logical purposes. In
cyber literature, the exchange to variety a person's character, make struggle, advance a plot,
exhibit the vernacular or the language or lingo spoken by the local individuals of a district. It is
evident in the short stories that were analyzed, His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High
School.
Flashback
The use of flashbacks in classic literature provides the reader a small piece of related information
in an imaginative way. In classic literature, for example, knowing the character was a fireman
who had experienced saving people’s live is important. Though, rather than just say the readers,
they present it through a flashback in giving context. Flashbacks do not just happen in memories;
the reader might visualize them through dream cycles or with the use of psychic powers.
In cyber literature, however, with the two short stories stylistically analyzed, the use of flashback
was not found. His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High School both did not use flashback as
a literary device to give context about the characters but rather the characterizations were
Foreshadowing
The use of Foreshadowing in both cyberliterature and classic literature set no difference with one
another. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet Romeo says that he would rather die sooner than
live without Juliet’s love, written in verbatim: “Life were better ended by their hate, than death
In cyber literature, occasionally, a future incident is referenced before in the story, similar to a
remark about a gathering between characters. The readers realize that issues will be examined
later. In His Blonde Little Secret, the main character’s constant daydreaming of becoming like
Beatrice, a beautiful and popular girl in the school was shown before Bella actually becoming
one.
Based on the analysis, both genre of literature gives a clue that something will occur. This is
finished by showing specific occasions, individuals or data that are a sign of something that will
happen later on in a story. Hinting can add pressure or assumption to the story.
Hyperbole
Hyperbole is the obvious and extra mile use of adjectives and descriptors that should not be
taken literally. Through the analyses conducted, no significant hyperbole was used in the cyber
literature short stories selected, His Blonde Little Secret and the Montello High School. No
comparison can be made between the classic literature and cyber literature due to lack of
Imagery
Classic and cyber literature both utilized to bring out the feelings of sight, taste, smell, contact,
and sound. Based on the gathered data and the analysis conducted, the significance of imagery is
that it adds a component of creativity to composing and permits the crowd to interface all the
more completely with characters by assisting readers with feeling as though they are truly there.
The use of imagery for both classic and cyber literature triggers a profound response in the
reader. Imagery doesn't just portray what something resembles or what a person feels. It likewise
recommends and makes the setting for figuring out the remainder of the story. For instance,
portraying a dull and turbulent evening sets the setting of argument for any activity that the
author portrays in a story. A basic discussion between two guardians about their kids on a
blustery day appears to hint inconvenience ahead. On the off chance that a similar discussion
occurred on a bright day with newly cut grass, the reader leaves away with an entirely
unexpected comprehension.
Irony
Classic literature usually uses situational Irony. For instance, in the Great Expectations written
by Charles Dickens, the crowd and Pip don't have the foggiest idea who the promoter is, and the
story causes it to appear to be that Miss Havisham is the sponsor. At the point when the genuine
supporter, Magwich, is uncovered, it conflicts with the convictions of the crowd and fundamental
On the other hand, as analyzed, the use of verbal irony is common in cyber literature short
stories. This happens when what a speaker says is the precise opposite of what the speaker
means, such as when Bella in His Blonde Little Secret always says that she is okay, but in
Metaphor
In the comparison between classic literature and cyber literature, the use of metaphor seemingly
assists with making sense of ideas and thoughts by brilliantly connecting the obscure to the
known; the theoretical to the substantial; the boundless to the understandable. It can likewise be a
logical device that explicitly requests to our sensibilities as readers. No significant difference can
be identified with the use of metaphor to both classical and cyber literature as examined in the
short stories His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High: School of Gangsters.
Mood
The choice of words of the writer is essential to laying out the mind-set, as each word even
words with comparable implications has its own implications. Choosing the right words make
the mood of the story. A mood is an inclination that can allude to the emotional state of a
character or the climate of a story. The mood is usually omnipresent in stories. In writing, state
of mind is imparted quietly using symbolism, conflict, and so on, and expressly through all-
knowing narration or dialogue. Mood relates to how the reader feels about the short story.
Almost no significant difference can be identified with the use of mood to both classic and cyber
literature as examined in the short stories His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High School,
except that, in cyber literature short stories, the mood is more concentrated with the
characterization of the characters. It is built to showcase the how the characters solve the
conflict, characters attitude towards one another, the setting is set to show how every character
Paradox
Paradox is an explanation that shows up at first to be disconnected, yet upon reflection then
seems to make sense afterwards. It is normally used to connect with the readers to find a basic
A very good example of this in classic literature is the line from Hamlet by William
superficial level. Notwithstanding, his clear horrible demonstration of killing Claudius should
have been visible as a consideration to Hamlet's mom, who has unconsciously turned into the
In cyber literature, based on the analyses conducted to both short stories, a paradoxical
circumstance or thought in a scholarly work makes pressure and likely tension for the readers.
For instance, in the story of His Blonde Little Secret, the use of paradox is very evident with the
character of Bella tried to promote herself in a way she is not that made. This sort of paradox
creates interest for the readers as far as expecting the goal of the contention. While it is true that
Both classic literature and cyber literature use paradox to permits readers to grasp ideas in an
Parody
Through the analyses conducted, no significant parody was used in the cyber literature short
stories selected, His Blonde Little Secret and the Montello High School. No comparison can be
made between the classic literature and cyber literature due to lack of specimen for analysis.
Plot
Point of View
Third person omniscient was the favored perspective for most classic writing, legends, and
fantasies — kinds that frequently detail how social orders became coordinated and the job
regular peculiarities played in those social orders' endurance. Talking from a supernatural
distance lends position to these stories and permits the storyteller to share numerous parts of the
characters' set of experiences. Authors of secret books or activity thrill rides additionally incline
toward this perspective on the grounds that the story center is around emotional activity and
connections.
While, in the analyses conducted in the cyber literature short stories, His Blonde Little Secret
and Montello High: School of Gangster, the use of Limited First-Person Point of view was
obvious. In which, first person narrators are described from a solitary person's viewpoint at a
time. They can't be wherever immediately and subsequently can't get all sides of the story. They
are recounting to their story, not really the story. Person Point of View is biased. In first person
novels or short stories, the reader quite often feels for a first individual storyteller, regardless of
whether the storyteller is a screw-up with significant imperfections. Montello High: School of
Gangster, on the other hand, use omnipresent perspective as the general point of view of the
story.
Collectively, both cyber literature short stories use a viewpoint character where simply
characters’ thoughts are accessible to the readers. The characters turn out to be the focus of the
Satire
Satire is a type of writing that ridicules or criticizes the faults of individuals or groups. The
Although a satire may be humorous, its purpose is not simply to make readers laugh but to
correct, through laughter, the flaws, and shortcomings it points out. Through the analyses
conducted, no significant satire was used in the cyber literature short stories selected, His Blonde
Little Secret and the Montello High School. No comparison can be made between the classic
Simile
Symbolism
In the comparison between classic literature and cyber literature, the use of symbolism both
addresses different ideas or thoughts to convey a more profound significance. Symbolism can
utilize an item, individual, circumstance, occasion, or activity with a more profound significance
in the general setting of scholarly work that goes outside surface ability to grasp. When utilized
appropriately, symbolism can improve a piece of composing and overcome any issues between
No significant difference can be identified with the use of symbols to both classical and cyber
literature as examined in the short stories His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High School.
Theme
Themes assist readers characterize and examine the fundamental message of a literary work.
Writers consider their works in these terms; it assists them with zeroing in on what they believe
Almost no significant difference can be identified with the use of theme to both classic and
cyber literature as examined in the short stories His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High
School, except that, in cyber literature short stories, the theme is more concentrated with the life
of the teens, how they accept and solve the problems that they face that build their characters.
Tone
In classic literature more often than not, the tone of the literary pieces attacks the position of the
other persons, group of people using words, showing aggression and anger; the tone is usually
aggressive.
In the stylistics analyses conducted, there were no sign of anger, and the expression of the writers
of His Blonde Little Secrets and Montello High: School of Gangsters is calm, peaceful, and
Understatement
determined to bring out modesty, however, frequently to deliver an unexpected result. This really
gets consideration regarding the object in the question and is typically planned to work up
humor. No significant difference can be identified with the use of understatement to both classic
and cyber literature as examined in the short stories His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High
School.
A character-driven story is centered around concentrating on the characters that make up the
story. Character-driven stories can manage inward change or the connections between the
characters.
Many authors of books incline toward building a world purely of actions to draw the whole plot
of the story. These authors appreciate decisively dispersing breadcrumbs for the readers to
follow. In the emergence of cyber literature, authors of today’s generation started to love digging
into the mind. They make rich and tormenting character that stay with the readers longer
Gangsters ensured that the characters cooperated and solved their current circumstance. This
kind of climate shaped the characters in the mentioned short stories. Also, perfection sometimes
led to boring scenarios in a story, placing the main characters in great stature in every instance
The way the writers described the characters His Blonde Little Secrets and Montello High:
School of Gangsters already made the story respectively; they were able to put the
characterizations of every character in high regard, showcased the strengths and weaknesses in
every conflict that these characters needed to solve. Once in a while, the authors put challenge
onto the characters with the worst situation imaginable. Furthermore, the way these authors
conveyed the short stories with external threats, in addition to the internal conflicts.
At the point when a character goes facing a contradicting force, their activities and feelings
uncover their personality characteristics. This makes convincing characters that are multi-faceted
and more appealing. In cyber literature, characterization is given more importance. Thus, the
conflicts, as part of the plot, in this type of literature focus more on the building up of the
characters’ traits, attitudes and ways of solving the conflict than plot itself.
The emergence of conflict as character development in cyber literature boost the chances of
creating interesting stories by producing the desire of the author an obsession. Having conflict as
character development for the short story creates more interest and rising actions; for instance, if
the author gives characters what they want, the story will lack tension. It is just conflict pushes a
good story further. The use of conflict in His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High: School of
Gangsters as character development made characters grew. In His Blonde Little secret, the
portrayal of the character of Bella as the protagonist and a simple lady automatically produced a
tension and conflict to the characterization of Beatrice as the antagonist who is prettier and
famous. This clearly shows the prevailing scenes of Bullies and bullied. On the other hand,
through the external arguments shown by the characters in Montello High: School of Gangsters,
the conflict was raised, and the characterizations of the characters were presented.
The theme is more concentrated with the life of the teens in school setting, how they accept and
solve the problems that they face that build their characters. As proven with the analyzed
specimens, the cyber literature stories were both set in school, His Blonde Little Secret and
Montello High: School of Gangsters. The emergence of themes set in school is popular among
other cyber literature short stories because it brings us the readers back to their youths. Mostly,
themes that are set in school focus the struggles of students in love, romance, sex, education,
family problems, bullying, and other social issues that may relate to teenage life. Simple and
typical as they may be, but the school setting gives more details and complications to the short
story when set in the academic arena, thus, more excitement and interest.
Teenage Fiction
The emergence of teen fiction allows the birth of cyber literature short stories and novels.
Teenagers, being the target readers represent a peculiar crowd. These teenagers are in the middle
of being young and adulthood yet essentially every grown-up bunch with any expectation or
vision representing things to come needs them in their pocket. As an outcome, a constant fight is
being battled about their heads concerning what kind of values they ought to be taught with, and
obviously, what kind of fictions they ought to hear, see and read. However, living in a multi-
social, multi-confidence, and multi-esteem society with the presence of the internet the realities
of life are hard to put away in their eyes. They understand what adults get up, and when they
arrive at their adolescent years, they will more than likely have had, or before long will get, the
opportunity to attempt everything out for themselves. The best expectation is to assist them with
Through the use of teenage fiction, the realities of life in teenagers are unfolded and issues are
discussed through short stories. These narratives that can be relatable and be inspirations to to the
teenagers. Usually, the target age is determined not just by the age of the main character, yet in
addition the contention and issue that adolescent is managing. For instance, the age of the main
character might be fourteen, however their issue is bullying related. This would make the story
appeal to fourteen-year-olds, yet also to established adolescents that are managing, or have been
Series (sequel)
It is noticeable that His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High: School of Gangster have vague
and unclear ending. That was intentional for the part of the writer to preempt a next book,
continuing the story in series of more stories. The emergence of writing in series in cyber
literature happens because more than possibly simpler to develop that of the archive, however it
eliminates one more boundary to making that read-through occur. The reader doesn't have to face
a challenge on a new story when they definitely realize they'll appreciate more in the series
they're as of now.
Moreover, it is easier for the contemporary authors to be known with their specialty in writing.
When one book hit, then it is already a jackpot. One can simply continue the story and earn.
Also, when a writer begins composing various books in his/her specialty, writing series sets up a
good foundation. Thus, at this point not these writers may not be viewed as a novice however as
Writers of this age, benefits from writing in series when readers have interest in one book, they
be will very much want to purchase the whole series in mass at one time. This prompt expanded
book deals.
Also, these writers are fond of writing in series because it gives natural delight to the readers.
Reading the second or third book in a series resembles causing the readers to repeat a part in the
first book. Readers need not sort out a novel, new thing as they as of now know about the
characters, the setting, or the plot. Returning to a book in series makes reading seriously
energizing. Readers additionally get to draw in themselves more with the characters.
This will lead to the next emerging literary feature in cyber literature.
It is evident in the stories that were analyzed that both His Blonde Little Secret and Montello
High: School of Gangster had cliffhanger ending; it is a plot device wherein a part of a story
closes unsettled, typically in an emotional or stunning way, to constrain crowds to turn the page
or return to the story in the following portion. The story ended without sequences of events that
will lead to the resolution of the conflicts, but instead the story ended in their peak.
The authors of both narratives intended this to happen, the climax of the first book respectively
will be used as the starting point for the next book to come out. This is very effective to gain
interest and excitement for the following book. The emergence of climax as the rising action of
the following sequel was well utilized and noticeable for both short stories that were analyzed.
Figure 2 represents the conceptual model of the study. The Literary Features Diagram consists of
the two universes namely the Classic Literature and Cyber Literature. The researcher compared
the literary feature of the classic literature and cyber literature to discover the Emerging Literary
Features of Cyber Literature Stories Through Stylistics Analysis. The model is a Venn Diagram
In Figure 2, the first universe shows the dominant literary features of short stories under classic
literature. These dominant literary features of classic literature are the following: Plot-driven, the
climax happened normally in the center, uses third person omniscient as point of view,
aggressive tone, uses flashbacks, situational irony and commonly dialogues are used for logical
The second universe presents the emerging literary features of cyber literature. These emerging
literary features of cyber literature are the following: Character-driven, assertive tone, the climax
happens near the falling action, uses verbal irony, the mood focuses on characterization, dialogue
is used to show characterization and struggles, uses limited first-person point of view and the
These two universes have interlapping characteristics; both classic literature and cyber literature
have unified in terms of the use of theme, symbolisms, conflicts, foreshadowing, imagery,
metaphor, paradox, and understatement. As observed, the aforementioned literary features set no
significant difference between the two universes. On the other hand, the use of hyperbole, parody
and satire is not common with both classic and cyber literature based on the study conducted.
