The Black Beast of ARRRRGGGHHH!

 Watch this clip from Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail:


What literary term is shown in this clip:

a. rhetorical device

b. personification

c. allusion

d. deus ex machina




Scroll down for the answer.









_______________________________


The correct answer is d. deus ex machina.  Why? The term literally means "God in a machine" and is used to describe when the characters are in a bind and there is no way to get them out of it, so the writer just makes up something to save them all.
