Greek theater originated with Thespis, who was the first actor to step out of the chorus to narrate stories. Sophocles further developed tragedy into a high art form, focusing his plays on humans influenced by the gods and using them to teach moral and social lessons. One of his most famous works was the Oedipus Cycle, which told the story of the great King Oedipus and how he unknowingly violated societal rules by killing his father and marrying his mother.

Greek drama
Greek drama developed from religious festivals honoring Dionysus in the 6th century BC. Plays were performed as part of dramatic competitions where tragedies and comedies were presented over several days. Thespis was the first known actor and playwright. Major playwrights included Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in tragedy and Aristophanes in comedy. Sophocles' innovations included concentrating action in a single play rather than a trilogy and adding a third actor. Tragedies featured a chorus, limited number of actors, masks, and themes of human suffering, fate versus free will, and the downfall of a heroic figure through tragic flaws like hubris.

Development of drama
Drama originated from religious ceremonies in the Christian Church. Over time, it evolved from biblical mystery plays performed by clergy, to morality plays performed by craftsmen addressing moral themes. It was influenced by Greek and Roman traditions. The first major English tragedies were written in blank verse by Thomas Sackville and the first comedy was by Nicholas Udall for his students. Drama became a popular form of entertainment as well as a way to critique life and understand society through stories, characters, dialogue, and themes portrayed on stage.
modernism- an overview
Modernism from 1914-1940 was an international movement that broke with tradition in literature, art, design, and culture. It rejected absolute truths and emphasized individual meaning-making. Modernist works featured instability, pessimism, chaos, disillusionment, and a collapse of morality in response to World War I, mass communication, and rapid social changes. Modernist literature used techniques like stream of consciousness, fragmentation, and multiple perspectives. Famous modernist authors and works included T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, James Joyce's Ulysses, Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, and Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis. Modern poetry experimented with form and syntax while exploring themes of alien
Romanticism
The document discusses several key aspects of Romanticism in the early 19th century United States, including elements like the frontier, optimism, and experimentation. It also summarizes works by authors Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne from this time period, noting Poe's creation of detective fiction and obsession with death, and Hawthorne's emphasis on the darker side of human nature in works like The Scarlet Letter.
Narrative Theories
This document discusses several narrative theorists and their contributions to understanding narratives. Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian fairy tales and identified character types and their common roles/functions. Tzvetan Todorov proposed that most narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, and return to a new equilibrium. Roland Barthes identified five codes that help audiences make sense of narratives: action, enigma, symbolic, semic, and cultural. Levi Strauss examined how stories unconsciously reflect a culture's values and beliefs through binary oppositions. The document provides examples of each theorist's work to analyze narratives.
