Connotation and Dennotation?

Connotation

Connotation is a meaning of an object. What you would automatically associate the object with. Almost all objects have a connotation 

Best Example?

The Classic Kitchen Knife!



When you see a kitchen knife in a close 
up shot in a film it will, most of the time,
relate to being a soon murder weapon. 
Obviously it could easily just be for cooking
the characters dinner but we have been watching
films all our life with knifes as murder 
weapons so commonly and naturally this would 

be our first thought. 



Denotation

The actual definition of what something is.
