Our class shared some thoughts on drama and I wanted to share some points I learned from this class experience.
- comedy lies between satire and romance
- two kinds of comedies are scornful comedy and romantic comedy
- these expose human folly
- comedy and tragedy are both examples of drama
- force and melodrama are oversimplified extremes
- tragedy is a plot that involves a chain of the protagonist to fall into a state of misery
- realistic drama is based off of how believable the play is delivered
- nonrealistic and realistic describe dramatic presentation
Necessary Nonrealistic Conventions:
- audience must believe a room with 30 or less sides actualy has four
- characters with different nationalities all speak the language of the audience
- the actors all face the audience
- plays strive for differing degrees of realism
- drama has 3 additional aspects that serve to add another dimension to the work.
- dramas utilize real life people and the quality of the play relies havily on their performance.

There are many types of literature and you pointed out the differences well. Comendy, romance, drama, etc. there a part of literature.
ReplyDeleteits interesting how you said comedy is a form of drama because we usually associate drama with tragedy, despair, and scandal-- not comedy.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you, Angela, I am now more enlighted on what a true drama really is, and what it consists of. Drama isn't just a bunch of words mixed together with some occassional rhyming, it too is a piece of art.
