the six literary terms of the movie "Mermaid".
Setting: sometime in a distant country
Conflict: a boy who is daydreaming vs. society
Climax: the boy saw the mermaid in the sea and he also turned into a mermaid.
Symbol: the sea (water) symbolises the boundary between the boy's dream and general thought of society
and the mermaid is a symbol of the boy's dream
Irony: the society tried to change the boy's thought but even at the end he was still seeing the mermaid so they couldn't change his mind. And they even strengthened his emotion to the mermaid. I think so because the boy turned into a mermaid in the last scene.
Theme: Having his own thought is important even if it's against the one of other people.
