words

Hello, i lost the sheet with which word i had, so heres my best guess

Archetype-An archetype (pronounced /ˈɑrkɪtaɪp/) is an original model of a person, ideal example, or a prototype after which others are copied, patterned, or emulated
In literature archetype is similar to motif as in a recurring event, however archetype also takes into consideration the impact of the original on all followers.
archetyps are used both unintentialy and intentionaly. The stories which at all relate to their originals.
Example; a prototype: “‘Frankenstein’ . . . ‘Dracula’ . . . ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ . . . the archetypes that have influenced all subsequent horror stories” (New York Times).

Heroic Couplet
- Two end-stopped iambic pentameter lines rhymed aa, bb, cc with the thought usually completed in the two-line unit.
The heroic couplet is used to emphasize the two ending words especially, it is often used at the end of a sonnet or mid length poem to empasize change or provide some sort of thesis.
-O could I flow like thee, and make thy stream
My great example, as it is my theme!
Though deep, yet clear, though gentle, yet not dull,
Strong without rage, without o'erflowing full.
